Erni Electronics facilitates reliable PCB connections also in extremely miniaturised applications such as retrofit bulbs and LED lighting units. The IDC-PCB terminals with a total height of just 2.0 mm eliminate manual preparation (stripping) of wires prior to termination. The dual IDC contact blades provide a reliable, gas-tight connection to the conductor wire. This means that costly and unreliable hand soldering can be avoided and discrete wires can be processed reliably and reproducibly. The overall dimensions (2.4mm x 2.0mm x 2.0mm) and the required PCB space are significantly smaller compared to other solutions. A cap guides the wire in the terminal, whilst also serving as a strain relief mechanism. Versions with closed end (wire stop) or feed-through (daisy chain capability) are available. Guides in the contact element guarantee correct connection, whilst detents ensure a secure hold. The SMT-mounted PCB terminals are suitable for solid and stranded wires. In spite of their compact dimensions, they can support a maximum current carrying capacity of 6.0A (AWG 24 at 20°C) or 17 A (AWG 22). The IDC terminals are specified for an extended temperature range of up to 150°C. The IDC terminals are supplied in tape and reel packaging (5000 pieces) to facilitate fully automated board assembly. They are suitable for backside reflow soldering on modern SMT lines.
