2,54 mm single row connectors

6 August 2008 Interconnection

The MaxiBridge 2,54 mm single row connector system from Erni is ideally suitable for highly reliable and space saving connections between PCBs and decentral units, eg, lamps or info-panels, front plate elements like buttons, switches, fuses or LEDs, motors, fans etc. The cable system can be used in different applications, such as automotive, telecom, industrial, medical or even consumer electronics.

Thanks to the availability of vertical and right angle male connectors and female connectors 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 carrying capacity can be adjusted over a wide range.

The male connector provides 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 boast very high ­retention forces.

There are four mechanical and different coloured coding versions (black, red, green and blue) with high blocking forces against mis-mating. Cable and male connectors have a locking system which prevents the contact from loosening due to vibration. The cable connector can be removed without an additional tool.

The connectors are available in 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 pin variants with current capacity of 12A per contact, and support single stranded wire gauges of AWG18, 20 and 22.
