A new range of terminals helps provide a cost-effective solution for surface mount technology assembly processes Key design elements incorporated into the Wago 236 Series included optimising the solder pin length to adapt to the reflow process, and the use of high temperature resistant plastic for the insulating housing, in addition to using the proven labour savings realised with Wago's unique Cage Clamp spring pressure connection technology that reduces wiring and installation time by 60%

Punch down and earth strap for connector
The RJ-LnxxT IP67 rated, sealed, industrial RJ-45 connectors, available in the UK from Aerco, are now available with IDC punch down and earth strap terminations.
Convertors marry disparate optical standards
A new range of connector convertors on show at ECOC 2002 next week are claimed offer unparalleled levels of performance and reliability.
The 236 Series is offered in 2- to 6-pole configurations with 5mm pin spacing and is capable of handling conductors ranging from AWG12-28.
Standard packaging or "pick and place" configurations are also available on request.
The new terminal blocks are simply pushed into the solder paste filled PCB holes and then soldered along with the SMT components in a forced air convection system.
The result is a perfect connection both from the mechanical and the electrical point of view.
"The integration of classic electromechanical components such as connectors into the reflow soldering process reduces the overall costs associated with populating all component types onto PC boards", claims Jim Bachle, Electrical Product Manager for Wago.
"Now customers can enjoy not only the cost savings realised by using the Wago wire connection technology, but also the savings associated with eliminating an extra assembly step in their PC board processing operation".
The new 236 THR Series is available for immediate delivery and is ideally positioned to be very competitive with list prices starting at $0.25 per pole.
