Interconnection


Socket connector designed with new contacts

27 August 2003 Interconnection

Erni's model D connector to DIN 41612 is suitable for applications with current loads of 4 A at 70°C. Based on a contact gap of 5,08 mm, the dielectric strength is 1,550 kV (50 Hz, 1 min).

For this connector design, Erni developed a new generation of spring contacts with connection cross-sections 0,6 x 1,2 mm dip-solder design, and 0,6 x 0,6 mm for dip-soldering or solderless press-in technology. Hand-soldering connections with dimensions 0,6 x 2,0 x 8 mm are also new.

This type D socket connector offers the following advantages:

* Solder lugs are aligned in longitudinal direction, which allows easier hand-soldering.

* The design with connection cross-section 0,6 x 0,6 mm, in conjunction with the PCB, has greater dielectric strength than the model C socket connectors, which have the same cross-section.

* Used on a bus board together with model C socket connectors, holes need only be drilled for contacts with 0,6 x 0,6 mm cross section (1 mm hole diameter).

* With the 1,2 x 0,6 mm termination mode, however, the socket connector can also be inserted in existing bus boards with 1 mm hole diameters.

* When using socket ERNI press-fit solderless connectors, a simpler flat press-in tool is used.
