AVX Adds a New Insulator to the Industry's Only 2.55mm-Profile IDC Series to Further Expand Application Suitability
December 12 2018 - 9:30AM
AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced
electronic components and interconnect, sensor, control, and
antenna solutions, has added a new insulator to its 9176-800
Series low-profile insulation displacement connectors (IDCs) —
the first and currently only industrial IDCs available in a 2.55mm
profile — to accommodate an additional wire gauge and further
expand application suitability. Now available in one to four
positions in each of four wire gauges, the series’ redundant,
fatigue-resistant phosphor bronze contacts provide
high-reliability, gas-tight, cold-welded connections for discrete
22, 24, 26, and 28AWG solid and stranded wires and are compatible
with potting and overmolding encapsulation processes for
environmental protection. In addition to connecting leaded
components to PCBs 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 — the series can also be used to connect PCBs
together in a daisy chain configuration.AVX’s 9176-800 Series
low-profile IDCs reduce the Z-axis height of the
next-lowest-profile insulated IDC connectors, the 9176-400 Series,
by 1mm and reduce the total overall volume of the Standard 00-9176
Series IDCs by more than 50% to help design engineers satisfy
steadily increasing cross-market demands for smaller,
lighter-weight electronic devices capable of delivering
high-reliability performance in harsh environmental conditions
including shock, vibration, and operating temperatures extending
from -40°C to +125°C.
“Our newly extended 9176-800 Series low-profile IDCs have an
industry-leading 2.55mm profile designed with today’s high-density,
space-constrained devices in mind and, with the addition of the new
insulator option, provide robust, reliable power and signal
solutions in an expanded range of industrial, medical, and
transportation applications with challenging operating 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 9176-800 Series low-profile IDC connectors feature flat,
integral, glass-filled Nylon 46 caps that are compliant with UL94
V-0, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly, and enable
simple, single-step termination. To further ensure error-free
termination, the one-position versions, which are rated for 600V
instead of the standard 300V, are also available in eight colors
designed to match individual wires. Every connector in the series
is rated for three-cycle durability and current ratings are reliant
upon AWG; the 22AWG connectors are rated for 6A, the 24AWG
connectors are rated for 5A, the 26AWG connectors are rated or 4A,
and the 28AWG connectors are rated for 3A. Parts are packaged in
tape and reel in quantities of 1,700 and those designed to accept
22–26AWG are UL approved. UL approval for 28AWG parts is currently
underway and is expected in the near future.
