SMT contacts allow variety of solderless PCB connections
The 9176 Series connectors feature a stand-alone surface-mount discrete wire IDC contact and cap component that allow a wide range of devices to be connected to the PCB without soldering or crimping. This eases design constraints and reduces cost, particularly in LED lighting applications, by enabling wires to be simply inserted into the SMT contact with a small tool, and to enable lighting designers to daisy-chain multiple boards.
The single contact and cap accept 18 to 24-AWG wires with 1.1 to 2.1-mm insulation diameter. The dual-beam contacts support a 10-A current rating, and the large SMT solder base provides high levels of PCB stability. Wires can be removed and replaced up to three times, and the optional locking strain relief cap acts as the termination tool for severe-vibration applications. The connectors are supplied on SMT-compatible tape and reel and offer phosphor bronze contacts with tin over nickel plating, with UL94-V0 Nylon 46 insulators. Operating temperature is –40° to 125°C. ($0.08 ea/volumes less than 10,000 — 8 to 10 weeks ARO).
