Metway Electrical Industries has introduced a range of through hole reflow (THR) and SMD connectors.

THR connectors with pick caps designed for automatic assembly using tape-on-reel packaging enable the manufacturing process to be automated while retaining the same PCB layout and wave soldering The floating pins of Metway's 120 range of SMD reflow solder connectors are fitted loosely into the moulding

This guarantees total coplanar positioning after the device has been placed and, because this solution ensures 100% solder joints, mechanical stress experienced during the reflow process, or any bending of the PCB board, is no longer a problem.

Additionally, Metway's 140 range offers an especially strong connection with a tear-off force of 30kg.

Both ranges are available in an extensive range of 3.5 and 5mm pitch options and in automated assembly compatible tray or tape-on-reel packaging fitted with pick caps.

Manufactured from high temperature material, specially designed for the reflow soldering process, they have stand off connectors for good heat circulation and ease of visual inspection.

Additionally, a huge range of electromechanical connectors is available from Metway Electrical Industries.

An extensive range of electronic terminal blocks and wiring accessories is also included in both printed and online catalogue product listings.
