AVX developed the initial SMT discrete wire IDC connector 5 years ago for 26-28AWG
AVX wires. Since then, we have seen this Wire-to-Board (WTB) contact technology
spread to multiple wire gauges and multiple configurations; standard connectors,
capped connectors and single contacts. All of which addresses specific application or
cost parameters set forth by our customer in demanding industrial, transportation or
commercial applications. The heart of the IDC connector is the true “gas tight” WTB
termination that is achieved once the wire is inserted between the dual phosphor bronze
contact tines. These opposing tines provide enough spring characteristics to allow the
termination to remain stable over extreme levels of temperature, shock and vibration.
The new 9177-600 family of contacts incorporates all of the above mentioned
capabilities. From low cost single contacts to fully integrated capped contacts. The
unique feature of the 600 series is the fact that it was developed for Plated Through Hole
(PTH) termination to the PCB. This addresses the rugged power type boards that have
to handle larger wire gauges up to 12AWG and 15 Amps per contact of current. The PTH
option provides robust PCB attachment and high current capabilities to replace older
technology connectors or in most cases soldering stripped wires directly to the PCB.
