AVX has released a vertical connector aimed at bridging the gap between inexpensive but wildly inconsistent hand soldering processes, and expensive but exceedingly reliable two-piece connector systems in high-volume applications. Designed for #18 AWG with perpendicular terminations and limited board space, uses include power supplies, LED drivers, and industrial and motor controls.

Carefully tooled to effectively compete against hand soldering processes, which are all but completely devoid of materials’ costs, the new 58-9296 Series single position, vertical poke-home connectors feature a stamped and formed phosphor bronze box contact that maximises both board attachment and wire capturing strength.

The company claims the new vertical poke-home connectors are 23% smaller than existing vertical connector solutions, allowing them to fit into the extremely tight spaces between larger, densely populated plated through-hole (PTH) components. They have tight tolerances in critical areas to minimise the potential for ingress resulting from the secondary potting or epoxy encapsulation processes commonly employed to protect industrial electronics from water and other harsh environmental hazards.

Rated for 8 A, 600 V a.c. and operating temperatures spanning -40°C to +130°C, the 58-9296 Series also features lead-free tin plating that enhances corrosion resistance and contact strength, dual solder tabs that effectively anchor the connector onto PCBs and, instead of costly Kapton tape, an integral moulded flange with a generous vacuum pick-up point for automated SMT placement. The RoHS compliant series is also rated for three-cycle durability, allowing for up to two wire replacements over the product’s lifetime, and is packaged on tape and reel.
