AVX Corporation has expanded its 917× series of reliable discrete wire-to-board connectors with the launch of the 9176-400 series contact and cap – the smallest discrete surface mount IDC wire-to-board connector with a 6A rating. 917× series connectors fit almost every application where there is a requirement to connect a single wire to a PCB; this new connector offers a smaller profile and lower cost alternative by providing a simple, low cost reliable, SMT termination point for 22-24AWG wires, especially for SSL and industrial applications. More, individual contacts can be located anywhere on the PCB enabling great design freedom. This new, single, standalone component enables a wide range of devices to be connected to the PCB without soldering, simply by inserting a wire into the SMT contact with a small tool or optional retention / termination cap.
