Tyco Electronics has introduced new wire-to-board plug connectors and board-to-board connectors to its family of hermaphroditic blade and receptacle connectors. The connectors are designed to make connecting of aluminium-clad printed circuit boards, commonly used for LED lighting applications that include lighting controls and LED light modules, faster and easier.
The new plug connectors use tin-plated brass crimp-snap contacts for 0,3 to 0,9 mm² stranded wire and a 94 V-0-rated thermoplastic housing. The plug connector mates with board-mount connectors and features positive latching for a secure connection.
The low-profile surface-mount board connector uses an hermaphroditic blade and receptacle design to allow LED printed circuit board strips to join with more flexibility than traditional post-and-receptacle headers. Connections can be made by sliding the two boards together horizontally or vertically. The capability to slide the two boards together vertically makes replacement of a board in mid-strip easier by lifting up the strip to be replaced and lowering in the new one.
The same board-mount connector is used for both board-to-board and wire-to-board connectivity. The hermaphroditic design results in only one board-mount part needing to be inventoried and simplifies design by using the same footprint on both ends of the strip. Contacts are supplied in reeled form for processing by high-speed terminating equipment.
Connectors are available in two, four or six positions. They are rated to 6 A and 125 V a.c./d.c., with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.
