Features & Benefits
- Dual Beam box contact provides maximum mechanical stability and wire retention
- Tape and reel packaged for automated SMT placement
- Staged current rating based on AWG, maximum is 20A (12AWG)
- Increased functionality with the single contact placement ability; multiple contacts and/or specific individual locations
Typical Applications
- Industrial/Ruggedized Wire-to-Board applications
- Replace hard soldering of wire to a PCB
This family of 4mm, 3mm, 2mm and 1.7mm closed box contacts accept either solid or stranded wires ranging from 12AWG to 28AWG with current ratings up to 20Amps. Once the contacts are soldered onto the PCB, wires need to be stripped to length (twisted if stranded) and inserted into the open end of the box contact. As the wires are pushed in, upper and lower tines guide the wire down the center of the contact deflecting the right and left contact tines until the wire reaches the wire stop. Wires can be removed by twisting the wire out and or using a small blade removal tool to help release some of the contact force.
