Vertical-mate battery connectors
10 August 2016
Interconnection
AVX has released a new series of low-profile battery connectors especially designed to prevent end-user damage to the contacts in electronic devices with pluggable modules that vertically mate with a base unit. The new 9155-800 series vertical-mate, 2 mm-pitch battery connectors feature ultra-robust and reliable gold-plated beryllium copper (BeCu) contacts that deliver excellent electrical and mechanical performance for more than 5000 mating cycles, in addition to a unique contact geometry designed to deflect cleanly and easily when a module or mating connector is vertically pushed into position.
The contact geometry allows for full vertical engagement in pluggable module applications, the contact tip incorporates an anti-snag feature to protect the contacts during deflection, and plastic locating bosses and SMT anchor tabs maximise the mechanical stability of the connector in harsh conditions.
These features, combined with the performance of the BeCu contacts, effectively eliminate the potential for end-users to inadvertently damage the contacts in a variety of consumer, medical, industrial and harsh environment applications, including handheld and portable devices that require docking or cradling, patient monitoring devices, portable medical electronics, Internet appliances with battery backups, and industrial devices that utilise pluggable or programmable modules.
Compatible with both signal and power circuits, 9155-800 series connectors are available with two to six positions, and are rated for 125 V a.c.; 1,5 A or 2 A, depending on the number of positions (five and six or two to four, respectively); and operating temperatures spanning -40°C to +125°C. The RoHS-compliant series features black, glass-filled Nylon 46 (UL94V0) insulators, and BeCu contacts with either 0,4 µm or 0,8 µm gold-over-nickel plating and pure tin tails.
