Backplanes and interface PCBs are making more and more use of DIN41612/IEC 60 603-2 and 2,0 mm hard-metric press-fit connectors. Because of this the use of D-Sub high power connectors with solder terminations has a serious cost impact.
Erni's high power D-Sub press-fit connector series has been developed to provide an economical solution to the high cost of solder termination. This connector series allows an economical and reliable assembly on the backplane, as press-fit technology has a significantly lower failure rate than solder technology.
Pin configurations are available in 3 W3, 3 WK3, 5 W5 and 8 W8, which may be loaded with a maximum of 3, 5 or 8 male/female high power contacts. Part loadings are also available upon request.
The benefits of pressfit technology are: gas-tight, corrosion-proof and mechanically strong connections; non-polluting - no use of cleaning, flux or solder media; no thermal stress on the PC board.
For cable termination solutions, either the KSG200 cable connector housings with superior EMI/RFI shielding or the KSG183 and KSG185 can be used for ESD protection.
