Kyocera AVX has released its new 9140-000 Series two-piece Stript crimp contacts which are designed to be compact, user-friendly and reliable, optimized for space-constrained commercial, transportation, consumer and industrial applications. Current rating is up to 8 A.
Engineered to provide wire-to-board connections, the Series features a UL-approved insulator-less design that utilizes the company’s poke-home blade contact technology. Dimensions are 4.6 by 2.4 by 1.2 mm.
The products feature: a polarized design that prevents mismating; poke-home contacts that provide up to 40 N of retention force and require as little as 6 N of insertion force; and a latch that maintains high-retention-force terminations in high-shock and vibration environments.
Kyocera AVX’ product manager interconnect, Nick Lee, said: “We developed this Series to fill a gap in the market. They’re the first two-piece crimp contacts in our Stript range and, compared to traditional two-piece crimp connectors, have smaller form factors, higher current ratings, and a unique combination of high retention force and low insertion force requirements.”
