This spring contact system combined with the double-ended, single-piece and solder-free-mating card-edge design and the variety of configurations and platings available make the 9159-7X0 Series suited for linear PCB mating in harsh industrial, LED lighting, automotive lighting and transportation lighting applications.
The connectors mate with 1.5-mm-thick (±0.15mm) PCBs with gold- or tin-plated pads and are rated for 150 VACrms or the DC equivalent, up to 1,000 cycles with gold-plated contacts (up to 20 with tin). Options include open- and closed-side configurations with high-temperature white or black UL94 V-0 insulators, five contact variations (4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 positions), gold or tin over nickel contact plating and current ratings up to 2 A per contact. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 130°C.
The UL and RoHS compliant 9159-7X0 Series is customizable. Parts are shipped in bulk in quantities of 1,000 per bag.
