GENERAL
MaxiBridge
Male and Female
Connector
The 2.54 mm single and dual row cable connector
system is ideally suitable for high reliable and spa-
ce saving connections between PCBs and decentral
units, e.g. lamps or info panels, front plate elements
like buttons, switches or LEDs, motors, fans etc. The
cable system can be used in different applications, for
example: automotive, industrial, medical or even ligh-
ting technology. Thanks to the availability of vertical
and right angle male connectors and female connec-
tors with 180° cable outlet the system can be used in
a versatile manner. Emphasis is put on flexibility of the
usable cable sizes. Thus the required current rating
can be adjusted over a wide range.
The vertical and right angle male connectors provide
SMT-terminals and the female connector has contact
cavities according to the crimp contacts. The plastic
material used is suitable for lead-free reflow soldering.
Tape and reel packaging and pick and place pad for
fully automatic assembly is a standard.
The crimp contacts are secured twice and reach hig-
hest retention forces. For each pin number, there are
four mechanical and different colored coding versions
with high blocking forces against mismating availab-
le. Cable and male connector have a locking system
on both sides, which prevents the contact from loo-
sening due to vibration. The robust interlocking can
be manually released without tools.

HOUSING GUIDE
The rugged insulati-
on body of the male
connector ensures an
optimal cable connec-
tor guide.
Two pegs (round and oval)
ensures exact positioning
on the PCB. In addition,
they enable a compensati-
on of the PCB hole tole-
rances.

LOCKING FOR HOUSING
The robust locking sys-
tem with latches on both
sides can be manually
released without tools and
withstands high vibrations.
During the locking process,
there is an audible latching.
Primary and secondary

CODING
Four different colored
codings per pin num-
ber. With high blocking
forces against misma-
ting.
Connectors with colorless
insulation bodies prevent
shadow formation in ligh-
ting applications, e.g. LED
strips with transparent dif-
fusion disks. Thus ensuring
uniform light distribution.

Operating voltage IEC 60664
The permissible operating voltages depend on the customer ap-
plication and on the applicable or specified safety requirements.
Insulation coordination according to IEC 60664-1 has to be re-
garded for the complete electrical device. Therefore, the maxi-
mum creepage and clearance distances of the mated connec-
tors are specified for consideration as a part of the whole current
path. In practice, reductions in creepage or clearance distances
may occur due to the conductive pattern of the printed board or
the wiring used, and have to be taken into account separately. As
a result the creepage and clearance distances for the application
may be reduced compared to those of the connector.
