Low profile wire-to-board connectors for miniature applications

Although the connector is miniature in size the power rating is not comprised. A high current rating capability of 3A (using the 2 contact version with 28AWG cable) can be achieved to support power supply applications.

Secure connection is guaranteed with the ViSe (Vertical-insertion Swing-extraction) double-locking mechanism. The crimp socket is mated to the header in a vertical direction; however it is guided in at an angle to engage with the positive lock. This ensures high retention force in the upper direction and prevents the cables from easily being disconnected. The friction lock prevents incomplete locking and floating after mating.

Highly reliable 2-point clipping contacts are utilised to stabilize contact resistance and reduce temperature rise. Furthermore, a long effective mating length of 0.29mm is achieved even though the low profile mated height is low at only 1.0mm.

Key features:

• Contact positions: 2, 3, 4, 6
• Contact pitch: 1.2mm
• Current rating: 3.0A (2 contact version: 28AWG cable)
• Voltage rating: AC/DC 100V
• Mating cycles: 10
• Cable size: AWG 28 - 30

A wide range of applications are suitable such as wearable devices, service robots, drones, medical devices, point-of-sale equipment, digital cameras and many other small portable devices.
