Connector eases wire management

9175 connectors can be used for connecting two or three wires between PCBs in high-volume consumer market applications

TTI has added AVX' 9175 connector to its portfolio, allowing users to easily connect individual wires to a single row of contacts using IDC technology.

Currently available as two and three-way IDC connectors, the device is both low-profile (3.45mm) with a small PCB footprint, saving precious space on PCBs.

A dedicated single-wire insertion hand tool allows for quick and easy assembly.

Before assembly, 9175 series connectors are surface mounted to the PCB.

Using the hand tool, 26 or 28 AWG solid/stranded wires are inserted into the contact slot.

This process cuts the insulation and enables the individual conductors of the wire to form a homogeneous joint.

The shape of the moulding forms a restraint to the wire when fully inserted in the contact.

Contact material is phosphor bronze, with five re-terminations achievable for each individual contact.

The devices offer a current rating of 1A continuous through all contacts at 25C (ambient), with a voltage rating of 125V.

The components feature an operating temperature range of -40C up to +80C.

Due to ease and speed of assembly to the small volume intricate/flexible connections of high-value devices, 9175 connectors can be used for connecting two or three wires between PCBs in high-volume consumer market applications, for example speakers, buzzers, microphones, and vibration mechanisms.

The parts are supplied in tape and reel packaging and are fully RoHS-compliant.
