AVX Releases the First Industrial Insulation Displacement Connectors with a 2.55mm Profile
April 18 2018 - 9:30AM
AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced
electronic components and interconnect, sensor, control, and
antenna solutions, has released the new 9176-800 Series low-profile
insulation displacement connectors (IDCs), which reduce the Z-axis
height of the next-lowest-profile insulated IDC connector, the
9176-400 Series, by 1mm, reduce the total overall volume of the
Standard 00-9176 Series IDCs by more than 50%, and are the first
industrial IDCs available in a 2.55mm profile.Designed to connect
discrete 22–26AWG solid and stranded wires and leaded components to
PCBs, or to connect PCBs together in a daisy chain configuration,
the new 9176-800 Series low-profile IDCs are available in a range
of sizes extending from one to four positions in each wire gauge,
and feature redundant, fatigue-resistant phosphor bronze contacts
that provide gas-tight, cold-welded wire connections that are
compatible with potting and overmolding encapsulation processes for
environmental protection. Rated for 300V, 4–6A, and operating
temperatures spanning -40°C to +125°C, the series delivers
high-reliability power and signal connections in space-constrained,
harsh-environment industrial, medical, and transportation
applications including: smart metering, sensors, building controls,
portable monitoring and measuring devices, point-of-sale equipment,
handheld inventory management devices, security systems, patient
monitoring equipment, and LED lighting.“We developed our new
9176-800 Series low-profile IDCs with an industry-leading 2.55mm
profile to provide design engineers working in the industrial,
medical, and transportation markets with robust, high-reliability
interconnect solutions ideal for use in a wide range of
high-density, space-constrained applications exposed to harsh
environmental conditions,” said Tom Anderson, connector product
manager at AVX Interconnect. “AVX leads the market offering of
22–28AWG IDC solutions, and our IDC technology is backed by more
than 10 years of proven performance in rugged industrial and
transportation applications.”The new 9176-800 Series low-profile
IDC connectors feature a flat, integral, glass-filled Nylon 46 cap
compliant with UL94 V-0 and designed for automated pick-and-place
assembly, and enable simple, single-step termination. To further
ensure error-free termination, the one-position versions are also
available in eight colors designed to match individual wires.
Current ratings are reliant upon AWG; the 22AWG connectors are
rated for 6A, the 24AWG connectors are rated for 5A, and the 26AWG
connectors are rated or 4A, and every connector in the series is
rated for three-cycle durability. Parts are packaged in tape and
reel in quantities of 1,700, UL approval is expected in April 2018,
and 28AWG versions are currently in development.For more
