Poke-home connector

18 March 2015 Interconnection

AVX has introduced the lowest-profile poke-home connector currently available on the market.

The new horizontal 9296 series features the company’s industry-proven 2 mm dual beam, high spring-force, phosphor bronze poke-home contacts in a sleek 3 mm pitch by 2,5 mm high SMT package. It is certified to UL 1977 and CAN/CSA C22.2 specifications, and accepts any combination of #20 to #26 AWG solid or stranded wires, providing quick, reliable and cost-effective wire-to-board termination in a broad range of harsh industrial, commercial and medical applications.

Rated for 300 V, up to 8 A, and operating temperatures spanning -40°C to +130°C, the connectors are available in 1 to 6 positions, meet harsh industrial performance standards and provide maximum mechanical stability and wire retention despite enabling simple strip-and-insert electrical connections and twist-and-pull wire extraction.

Specific applications for which this series is ideally suited include: machine controls, such as motors, drives, solenoids, sensors, fans and pumps; commercial building controls and security and fire sensors; medical equipment and sensors; smart grid meters, breakers and panels; and SSL/LED bulbs, fixtures, signage and streetlights.

The RoHS-compliant 9296 series features a mechanical durability of three cycles and is supplied on tape and reel for single contact automated placement and SMT reflow.
