Top-mount wire-to-board connector
13 November 2013
Interconnection
AVX has introduced a vertical, top mount, SMT wire-to-board connector specifically designed to meet the configuration, performance and cost goals faced by industrial and solid-state lighting design engineers.
Featuring AVX’s industry-proven dual-beam, 3 mm, high spring force box contacts packaged in a protective insulator, the new 9296 series poke home connectors provide high mechanical stability and wire retention in addition to simple strip-and-insert wire loading and twist-and-pull wire removal.
Designed to surface mount on the top of a PCB, the new one- to six-way connectors allow users to insert solid or stranded, plated or unplated, #18 to #26 AWG wires directly through the connector’s top aperture and are ideal for a variety of industrial applications, including LED lighting, smart meters, building controls, fire and security systems, and industrial motor controls and drivers, among others.
The connectors feature RoHS-compliant coppery alloy contacts with tin over nickel plating and are rated for 300 V a.c., five-cycle durability and temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C. Available in one to six positions, each connector will accept the entire wire gauge range for either solid or stranded wires at varying current ratings supported by each wire size; and, once inserted, wires can be easily removed or replaced by twisting, unscrewing, or using a small blade extraction tool.
Tape and reel packaged for automatic assembly, each 9296 Series vertical top mount connector is supplied with a small kapton tape on the top to aid with the pick-and-place process. Post-soldering, the tape should be removed and discarded.
