TE enhances wire-to-board product line with custom cable assemblies

By Gina Roos, editor-in-chief

TE Connectivity (TE) has extended its portfolio of ELCON Micro wire-to-board products with custom cable assemblies and a cable plug solution. The ELCON Micro connectors provide a high current of up to 12.5 A per pin. The connector’s 3.0-mm PCB footprint is compatible with Molex’s Micro-Fit headers and BellWether’s Micro-Hi headers.

The ELCON Micro connector housing is designed to prevent mating the plug in the wrong direction. The connectors provide a working voltage of 600 V and supports different currents with multiple combinations of different wire sizes to offer greater design flexibility.

The connectors support two to 24 pin configurations and operate reliably in harsh environments thanks to their maximum operating temperature of 105°C and their halogen-free material. Applications include data communications, telecommunications, consumer devices, white goods, industrial, instrumentation, medical devices, and 5G applications.
