The industrial and solid state lighting markets continue to look for new products which will reduce size and cost without jeopardising performance. The new ‘Stript’ 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 labour. This family of 4 mm, 3 mm, 2 mm and 1,7 mm closed box contacts accept either solid or stranded wires ranging from #12 to #28 AWG with current ratings up to 20 A.
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 centre 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.
