Providing a gas-tight wire-to-board termination that meets stringent automotive environment requirements, the new 1-position 9176 Series connector features dual beam contacts that support a 10 A current rating.

AVX Corporation (Greenville, SC) has expanded its 9176 Series wire-to-board connector family to offer design engineers more options when connecting discrete wires to a PCB in harsh environment applications. Providing a gas-tight wire-to-board termination that meets stringent automotive environment requirements, the new 1-position 9176 Series connector features:

• A standalone surface mount discrete wire IDC connector.
• An integral insulation strain relief system that allows a wide range of devices to be securely and reliably connected to a PCB without soldering.
• UL approval.
• Support of 18-24AWG wire termination where shock, vibration, elevated temperature, as well as temperature cycling are critical parameters.
• Color-coding that provides assemblers with a quick visual reference.
• An insulation diameter ranging from 1.1 to 2.1mm.
• Dual beam contacts that support a 10 A current rating.
• An optional locking strain relief cap that acts as a termination tool for severe vibration applications.
• An operating temperature range of -40ºC to 125ºC.
