Rebranding for six year old connector range

The STRIPT connectors are UL certified single contacts that deliver the same performance as complete connector solutions without the additional space required by and assembly costs associated with a plastic insulator, effectively bridging the gap between hand soldering and one- and two-piece connector solutions.

Based on board-to-board (BTB) and wire-to-board (WTB) single-contact designs, and constructed with base contact materials, STRIPT connectors enable engineers to meet stringent cost, performance and robust specifications in a variety of harsh commercial, industrial, medical, transportation and solid-state lighting applications.

“We developed STRIPT single contact technology in response to customer requests for cost effective board-to-board and wire-to-board solutions that would help simplify designs and preserve board space while maintaining the robustness, reliability and reparability of existing connector solutions,” said Tom Anderson, Connector Product Manager, AVX.

“Connectors don’t need to be enclosed in a plastic housing, even in harsh environments. As supported by the series’ full UL approval, exposed contacts are no different than exposed solder pads on a PCB with regard to robustness, and that fact - combined with the instant cost savings, equivalent or improved performance, and board and/or height savings that these contacts deliver - has been met with an abundance of customer enthusiasm.”

AVX’s STRIPT connectors are available in four different contact technologies (gas-tight and potting-compatible WTB insulation displacement contacts; horizontal and vertical poke-home contacts; gold-plated, ultra-low profile BTB compression contacts; and 10,000-cycle-life pogo-pin BTB contacts), in addition to a range of AWG, pin counts, heights, current ratings and configurations (horizontal, vertical, top, inverse, stacking and coplanar).
