AVX has introduced a surface-mount, single-poke, dual-beam boxed contact system designed to enable simple, reliable and solderless wire termination in industrial and solid-state lighting applications.

The single-position 9296 Series contact integrates several key features within the stamping to facilitate SMT pickup, wire guidance, high force retention and easy wire removal, claiming to provide all of the benefits of a full-function connector in an insulator-free solution, mitigating both labour and materials costs, as well as contributing to smaller and more cost-effective end-designs.

Featuring an enhanced solder pad for maximum mechanical stability on the PCB and a unique closed-box design that captures wires from all sides, the new contacts are capable of accepting #12-#20 AWG solid and stranded wires and are rated for 10–20 A depending on AWG. Voltage rating for the series is dependent upon placement distance.

The 9296 Series contact also features upper and lower tines that guide stripped wires down its centre, deflecting the right and left contact tines until the wire reaches the wire stop. Wires may be removed by simply twisting them out or by using a small blade removal tool to help release some of the contact force.

Tape and reel packaged for automated SMT placement, the tin-over-nickel-plated copper alloy contacts are RoHS compliant, feature five-cycle durability, and are rated for use in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C.
