WIRE-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Unique Design Provides High Reliability, High Durability and High Retention
DESCRIPTION
The innovative PV crimp-to-wire system connects
discrete wire to printed circuit boards. High-reliability,
dual-metal receptacle contacts are designed to plug
to industry-standard 0.025” (0.635mm) square posts.
The receptacle contacts can be installed in insulating
MINI-LATCH
™
connector housings or used discretely.
Contacts are spaced on 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch in single
or double-row housing configurations.
Terminated receptacle contacts and housing assemblies
can be plugged to staked pins, BERGSTIK
®
unshrouded
headers, or shrouded PCB headers. The side walls of
the shrouded headers include an integral “friction gripping”
feature that fits to the sides of the MINI-LATCH housing
and reduces the risk of disengagement. A side key on
the MINI-LATCH housing and a corresponding keyway
in the header side-wall provide polarization to prevent
mis-mating.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Unique dual-metal PV receptacle contact maintains
contact pressure through 1000 mating cycles. A
beryllium copper spring provides high normal force
at the mating interface, while the brass contact body
produces a reliable, gas-tight crimp termination. The
choice of two different spring pressures allows the
user to customize insertion and withdrawal forces to
individual application requirements
Shrouded header side walls engage with the sides of
the MINI-LATCH housing to provide additional retention
MINI-LATCH housing firmly retains PV wire contacts
Available in single or double row configurations
Keyed MINI-LATCH housings and header keyways
provide polarization to prevent mis-mating
Two wall header design provides mechanical benefits
plus economy
Application tooling is supported by FCI
