The 9176 Series connector eases design constraints by enabling wires to be simply inserted into the SMT contact with a small tool.

AVX Corporation (Myrtle Beach, SC) has developed a standalone surface mount discrete wire IDC contact and cap component that allows a wide range of devices to be connected to the PCB without soldering. The 9176 Series connector eases design constraints by enabling wires to be simply inserted into the SMT contact with a small tool. Features include:

• Accepts 18 to 24 AWG wires with an insulation diameter ranging from 1.1 to 2.1 mm. Dual beam contacts support a 10A current rating.
• A large SMT solder base provides high levels of stability on the PCB.
• An optional locking strain relief cap that acts as the termination tool for severe vibration applications.
• Phosphor bronze contacts with tin over nickel plating.
• Insulators are made from UL94-V0 Nylon 46.
• An operating temperature of -40º to +125ºC.
