The new 9169-000 Series connectors feature
robust beryllium copper compression contacts and insulation
displacement contacts that make it easy to establish reliable,
high-signal-integrity connections in a wide range of harsh
environment lighting, industrial, and consumer electronics
applications.
FOUNTAIN
INN, S.C., June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KYOCERA AVX,
a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components
engineered to accelerate technological innovation and build a
better future, launched the new 9169-000 Series single-piece
wire-to-board card-edge connectors.
The new 9169-000 Series wire-to-board card-edge connectors
combine two field-proven solderless contact technologies that make
it easy to establish high-integrity connections and deliver
excellent electrical and mechanical performance in
harsh-environment automotive, transportation, and solid-state
lighting, industrial, and consumer electronics applications:
insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) for reliable cold-welded,
gas-tight wire-to-connector terminations and beryllium copper
(BeCu) compression contacts for high-reliability wire-to-board
terminations. These new connectors also feature a locating rib for
polarization, which prevents PCB insertion errors, and
board-locking latches on both sides, which reinforces their
mechanical retention strength.
The new 9169-000 Series is available with 2–10 contacts that are
on a 2.5mm pitch, equipped with gold or pure tin plating on the
nose area, and designed to terminate 22–28AWG solid or stranded
wires and 1.6mm-thick PCBs with gold- or tin-plated pads. It's also
available with glass-filled, UL94 V-0 polyamide 66 (PA66)
insulators in eight different colors: white, black, orange, green,
red, yellow, blue, and brown. In terms of performance, it's rated
for 100VACRMS or the DC equivalent, up to 3A for
variants with 2–6 contacts (U.S. UL), up to 2A for variants with
7–10 contacts, and 10 cycles in operating temperatures extending
from -40°C to +130°C, and it's also UL approved.
"KYOCERA AVX has been producing IDC and compression contact
technology for more than 50 years and always uses beryllium copper
as the base material to ensure durability and reliability
throughout the product lifecycle," said Perrin Hardee, Product Marketing
Manager, KYOCERA AVX. "Our new 9169-000 Series single-piece
wire-to-board card-edge connectors utilize both of these proven
solderless contact technologies, which makes them quick and easy to
install and ensures high-reliability, high-signal-integrity
performance, and leverage polarization and locking mechanisms to
ensure proper card insertion and robust retention in
harsh-environment automotive, transportation, and solid-state
lighting applications, industrial applications, and consumer
electronics applications, including appliances."
In addition, customers who require more flexibility than the
nine standard pin counts (2–10) and four standard wire gauges (22–
28AWG) provide can reach out to the
KYOCERA AVX team to request custom pin counts and pitches and
additional application testing.
