IDC Socket: WTB
Through Wire Cap/Wire Stop Cap
Series 24-9159
AVX developed the 9159 Series of SMT connectors for co-planar PCB
mating for the challenging Solid State Lighting (SSL) market. These
connectors needed to be small, low in height, carry up to 5 Amps/contact
and then function up to 125C for extended periods. This application has
been very unique to the SSL market where PCB’s are stacked end-to-end
to create linear strip lighting in everything from office to transportation
applications where products are exposed to harsh mechanical and
environmental environments.
The IDC cable socket connector allows for 22-24AWG discrete or cabled
wires to be easily and reliability terminated into a 9159 standard interface
plug connector. This will allow power and signals to be connectors onto a
PCB socket connector while providing positive latching. The wire assembly
support block allows for 2 through 6 wires to be terminated all in one step
with any standard bench top press. IDC covers provide both through
(daisy chain applications) and wire stop termination options.
