Custom cable assemblies for two-piece WTB connectors
AVX announces custom cable assemblies for the company's 9159 series two-piece wire-to-board (WTB) connectors. When paired with the highly reliable, two-piece contact system, the bonded cable assemblies match the pitch of the connector, providing a cleaner appearance than discrete wires bound by cable ties and simplifying the assembly process.
Providing customers with a complete, custom and fully tested connector solution, the build-to-print cable assemblies also enable a near infinite number of complete WTB solutions by accommodating any combination of connector size and orientation, wire type and colour, and single- or double-ended assemblies.
Featuring an integral latch to prevent unmating in harsh commercial and industrial applications, AVX’s 9159 series two-piece plug and socket connectors comprise the most extensive collection of low profile, low pin count (2p-6p), WTB solutions available in the industry. Based on high reliability, gold plated beryllium copper (BeCu) spring contacts and rated for a full 5A per contact and operating temperatures from -40 to +125°C, 9159 series connectors provide maximum contact integrity and performance when bringing power and signals onto or off of a PCB in a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications. Ideal applications for the series include: portable commercial and industrial handheld terminals, scanners and meters; medical devices, including patient monitoring and drug dispensing equipment; solid-state lighting fixtures; industrial electronic modules and controls; and transportation applications, including console, police and emergency lighting.
“We at AVX are actively engaged with our customers and continuously work to provide them with innovative solutions to their unique design criteria and challenges. The sole motivation for developing our own wire and cable termination equipment was to provide our customers with an in-house, value-added solution that would increase the efficiency and reliability of the final cable assemblies that utilise our versatile and robust 9159 series connectors, which are broadly employed in dozens of applications,” comments Tom Anderson, Product Manager, AVX.
