Rugged and reliable power connection for industrial applications

3 May 2006 Interconnection

Available from Tyco Electronics is the Ampmodu Mod I interconnection system on a 3,96 mm centreline, offering rugged large scale connection for wire-to-board applications in areas such as industrial control, switchgear and power supplies.

The Mod I is a single row connector system in 2 to 12 positions utilising industry standard 0,79 x 1,57 mm header posts in conjunction with cable mount receptacles, permitting a current rating of 5 A max per contact. All products are fully RoHS-compliant.

The shrouded PCB headers feature polarisation and detent latching and are available with either tin or gold plated contacts. Cable mount receptacle housings accept a range of crimp snap-in contacts for 17-22 AWG wire with a choice of tin or gold contacts including high pressure. Housings for both cable receptacles and shrouded headers are UL 94V-1 rated.

Also available within the Mod I family are a range of unshrouded PCB headers and discrete PCB mount contacts providing a simple board to board solution where required.
