WIRE-TO-BOARD CONNECTORS
®
PV 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
TARGET MARKETS / APPLICATIONS
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
