AVX’s uninsulated single contacts receive UL certifications

Designed to meet stringent cost and performance objectives in a wide variety of harsh commercial, industrial, transportation, solid-state lighting, and medical applications, AVX’s several series of single contact solutions are suitable for use in: commercial building controls, such as fire and security; smart grid meters, breakers and panels; portable commercial and industrial handheld terminals, scanners and meters; machine controls, such as motors, drives, sensors, solenoids, pumps and fans; industrial electronic modules and controls; console, police and emergency lighting; SSL bulbs, fixtures, streetlights and signage; and medical devices, such as patient monitoring and drug dispensing equipment.

Tom Anderson, Product Manager, AVX, commented: “A testimony to the electrical and mechanical performance characteristics that our several uninsulated contact series exhibit, our latest UL certifications successfully eliminate the largest barrier between these technology-leading, cost-effective connector solutions and the American electronics industry. Developed in response to challenging market requests for miniaturisation and cost reduction, our fully functional uninsulated single contacts have been well received since their market introduction a little over three years ago but have yet to be employed in certain applications simply because they had yet to receive UL certification."
