With the addition of a new cable-to-cable connection solution, Erni’s MiniBridge product line has opened the door for several additional fields of application. The PCB cable system is targeted at the connection of decentralised function units such as front plate displays, buttons, motors, fans or fuses. Application sectors are the automotive industry, industrial automation, aircraft industry, mechanical engineering, medical technology and consumer electronics.
With the MiniBridge female connector, cable connections could previously be created from PCB to PCB; now this point-to-point connection can be made within the cable run. Previously, a PCB connection was required on at least one side of the cable, but now this connection can be omitted due to space or assembly reasons. Erni offers both an IDC female connector and an IDC male connector for this cable connection; these are designed for the connection of flat cables or discrete wires. The connectors are supplied with six pins on 1,27 mm pitch.
