Erni's new single-row cable connector system with a pitch of 1,27 mm is aimed at space-saving and flexible board-to-cable connections. Called MiniBridge, the connectors are ideally suited for diverse sensor, actuator, power-supply, and data applications in the fields of automotive and industrial electronics, computer technology, consumer electronics, and medical-device technology.
With dimensions of only 10 x 10 x 3 mm (4-pin version), the company says that these miniature connectors offer a current-carrying capacity of 4 A (at 20°C, depending on the cable). Using straight or angled male connectors, and female connectors where the cables are fed out at 90 or 180°, the connector makes it possible to overcome a great many spatial restrictions. Wide temperature range (-55-125°C) is an additional crucial advantage making the connector suitable for diverse and demanding applications.
Erni is launching the MiniBridge connectors with a 4-pin version. Additional variants are planned with 2, 3, 6, and 8 pins. The male connectors have SMT termination, and the female connectors use insulation displacement connector (IDC) termination. In addition, female connectors are available with different types of locking latches for normal vibration/shock loads (black model type) as well as for applications involving heavy vibration/shock loads (red model type).
