Male headers for automated processes

28 July 2004 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Phoenix Contact has specially developed a new generation of Combicon through-hole reflow (THR) technology male headers for use in standard SMT production lines. Component design and packaging simplify integration into existing processes.

The male headers are supplied standard in a tape-feeder pack (tape on reel). Both the reels and the tape are antistatic and are suitable for use in all commonly-used feeders. Suction surfaces on the components enable pick and place machines to move and precisely position the components on the PCB. Once in place, standard soldering pin-in-hole connection increases mechanical stability. Insulators specially designed for the reflow solder process open up a wide range of process options for soldering components.

The Combicon product range includes two- to eight-pin THR male headers with 5,0 and 5,08 mm pitch in horizontal and vertical variants. The Mini-Combicon male headers are vertical and horizontal plugging, two- to 12-pin with 3,5 or 3,81 mm pitch, with optional mounting flange.
