AVX continues to develop innovative connectors for the industrial
electronics market that provide significant benefits over existing, outdated
connector solutions. The latest release is single vertical Wire-to-Board
(WTB) contacts that provide cost effective, yet robust discrete wire
termination without the expense of an insulator and assembly costs. This
new family of top and bottom entry contacts compliments the existing
vertical poke home connectors already on the market, providing a lower
cost solution without jeopardizing performance.
The new contacts support both solid and stranded wires ranging from
26AWG down to 22AWG and current ratings as high as 8 amps. Due to
the mechanical stiffness of the small contact, 26AWG stranded wires may
need to be pre-tinned to facilitate insertion. The set of four contacts provide
both top and bottom entry for FR4 and metal core printed circuit boards.
