ERNI Electronics Enables Reliable PCB Connection At Minimal Required Space

IDC-PCB terminal with only 2.9mm total height

Adelberg/Germany, September 26, 2011– ERNI Electronics enables reliable PCB connections in extremely miniaturized applications like bulbs or LED systems. The new IDC-PCB terminal with a total height of only 2.9mm eliminates manual preparation of wires prior termination. The IDC dual contact provides a reliable gas tight connection to conductor of wire. These means that the costly and unreliable hand soldering can be replaced and no special tool is required for termination The total dimensions (2.4mm x 2.2mm x 2.9mm) and the required PCB space are significant smaller compared to other solutions. A termination cap provides strain relief and keeps the wire in place. In addition variants with wire stop or for daisy chain applications are available. Despite the small dimensions a high current rating of max. 5.5A at 20°C is specified.  The new IDC-PCB terminals are available for AWG 24 wire (solid wire) with wire diameter of 0.5mm and cable diameter of 0.75mm. The reliable new IDC-PCB terminals are shipped in tape and reel packaging with 5000 pieces/tape for automated pick & place assembly.
