The Industrial and Solid State Lighting markets continue to look for new
products which will reduce size and cost without jeopardizing
performance. The new dual-beam boxed contact system from AVX
surface mounts to a PCB and provides a simple and reliable wire
termination without soldering of the wire. The unique contact design
integrates several key features within the stamping to facilitate SMT
pickup, wire guidance, high force retention and easy wire removal.
Combined, these features provide all of the benefits of a full function
connector, without the added cost of the insulator and labor.
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.
