D-Sub pressfit high power connectors

12 March 2003 Interconnection

Backplanes and interface PCBs are using DIN 41612/IEC 60 603-2 and 2,0 mm H.M. press-fit connectors more and more. Because of this, the use of D-Sub high power connectors with solder terminations has a serious cost impact.

Erni's high power D-Sub press-fit connector series has been developed to provide an economical solution to the high cost of solder termination. This connector series allows a much more economical and reliable assembly on the backplane, as press-fit technology has a significantly lower failure rate than solder technology.

Pin configurations are available in 3W3, 3WK3, 5W5 and 8W8, which may be loaded with a maximum of three, five or eight male/female high power contacts. Part loadings are also available upon request.

The benefits of pressfit are: gas-tight, corrosion-proof and mechanically strong connections; non-polluting - no use of cleaning, flux or solder media; and no thermal stress on the PCB.

For cable termination solutions, either the KSG200 cable connector housings with superior EMI/RFI shielding or the KSG183 and KSG185 can be used for ESD protection.
