AVX extends the battery connector range with the addition of a low profile 2.5mm pitch right angle connector. This connector is offered in 2 to 5 positions and is rated at 3 amps. The connector’s design is small and compact to minimize its profile yet functionally stable having a contact point at 2.20mm above the PCB. -The unique design of this stamped contact allows for a maximum insulator height of 4.0mm which makes it size compatible with more expensive pogo pin style battery connectors. -The complete family of battery connectors from AVX offer all of the same advantages; Beryllium Copper base material for enhanced contact performance, a full 3 amp current rating, selective gold plating for 5000 mating cycles and high temperature plastic for RoHS soldering.

A further addition to the battery connector range offered by AVX is a 90 degree version. On a 3mm pitch, offered in 2 to 6 contact positions and rated as with all of the battery range at 3 amps. The connector’s design is small and compact to minimize its profile yet stable while having a contact point 4.61mm above the PCB. - The stability comes from the addition of extra SMT anchor brackets that are in between the SMT contact pads and both at the front of the connector and within the row of the contact SMT pads. -As with the other 9155 series of battery connectors offered by AVX the 90 degree version is rated at 3 amps and 5000 mating cycles, RoHS compliant and using high temperature plastic enables the connectors to be processed at up to 260ºC.

The standard SIM connector is specifically designed for handheld devices requiring secure subscriber identification. - Following on from the introduction of our standard SIM block with an offering of 3 standard heights, 0.80mm, 1.60mm, or 2.40mm, AVX is now adding another standard to the 9162 series SIM connectors, the slide-in SIM. - Unlike SIM blocks which require SIM card guides to aid insertion, removal and retention of the SIM card, the slide-in SIM has guides as part of the connector mold design. - Contacts are stamped, gold plated, rated 0.5A, and 5000 mechanical cycles. Our contact design is specifically rounded to avoid any possible damage during and after card insertion to the card itself, assuming normal use. The design also incorporates protection features to avoid contact damage during this operation such as contact snagging. - Please contact the appropriate sales office for further details of this service.

Single Pogo Pin contacts provide high cycle life in industrial and medical applications where reliability and robustness is critical. Pogo Pins provide 10,000 mating cycles and are ideal in pluggable module applications where the end customer has to handle a product daily. Pogo Pins are designed to mate with gold plated PCB pads or flat contacts in docking/cradle applications to function as the charging, data transfer or programming interface to a portable device. - The standard range single contacts from AVX provides the maximum flexibility in pin count, placement location and broad compressed stacking heights ranging from 2.0mm up to 5.5mm. The contacts are provided in standard tape and reel packaging for automatic in-line SMT placement. A disposable plastic cap facilitates vacuum pickup and then is removed after reflow soldering prior to product mating. Contacts are gold plated and incorporate high force stainless steel springs for durability and signal integrity.

The MOBO® SOLO Stacker series 9258 is a one-piece connector used to connect two PCBs in a cost effective manner. -This connector is a 1.0mm pitch available in an 8 position with stack heights of 0.40mm and 0.80mm. It is available with or without location bosses. - This connector is designed for PCB surface mounting and is supplied in tape and reel packaging. Gold plated pads on the mating PCB or suitable flex circuits provide connection between the boards.

The standard SIM connector is specifically designed for handheld devices requiring secure subscriber identification. -The connectors are available in a standard 6 pin configuration on a 2.54mm pitch with a 0.8mm height. Contacts are stamped, gold plated, rated at 0.5A, and 5000 mechanical cycles. -Our contact design is specifically rounded to avoid any possible damage during and after card insertion to the card itself, assuming normal use. The design also incorporates protection features to avoid contact damage during this operation such as contact snagging.

The market and applications for simple and reliable discrete Wire-to-Board connectors continue to evolve. AVX first introduced the 9175 series of surface mountable Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) in 2006. Developed for harsh industrial and automotive applications, these connectors have been used in hundreds of applications from today’s “Smart Meter” all the way down to a simple sensor termination to a PCB. Size and performance has been one of the key factors for selecting this connector in terminating 26-28AWG wires to a PCB. - The next generation of IDC connector moves beyond all of the technical and performance attributes to address the “User Friendliness” of the product. By changing the insulator from acting as a connector body and make it more like a contact carrier, the insulator becomes the wire location and insertion aid without any special tools. The wire is just inserted into the cap (no stripping required) and then pressed down to provide a secure “Gas Tight” termination. This configuration simplifies and cost reduces the entirewire termination process for connecting discrete wires to a PCB.

The MOBO® SOLO Stacker series 9188 is a one-piece connector used to connect two PCBs in a costeffective manner. -A standard range is available with 4, 6, 8 staggered contacts to suit stack heights of 1.1mm to 2.1mm (see table below). -SOLO Stacker is designed for PCB surface mounting and is supplied in tape and reel packaging. Gold plated pads on the mating PCB or suitable flex circuits provide connection between the two boards.

AVX has developed a unique 50 Ohm SMT Coax Connector based on our industry proven discrete wire Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) technology. By combining two different sized IDC contacts, we can reliably pierce the center conductor and outside jacket dielectric materials to make electrical connection to the signal wire and braid (ground connection). Designed specifically for RG178 cable, the concept can be applied to other cable sizes. -The connector comes with a pre-attached cap in tape & reel packaging. The coax cable only needs the outer jacket and braid stripped. The cable is then inserted into the connector and the cap can be pressed down via a small press or hand tool. The biggest advantage of this connector is that it is extremely easy to terminate, no soldering, additional stripping processes or crimp tools are needed. The all plastic design is more cost effective than plated screw machine components while providing a VSWR less than 1.2:1 in excess of 700MHz.

The market and applications for simple and reliable discrete Wire-to-Board connectors continue to evolve. AVX first introduced the 9176 series of surface mountable Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) in 2007. Developed for harsh industrial and automotive applications, these connectors have been used in hundreds of applications from today’s “Smart Meter” all the way down to a simple sensor termination to a PCB. Size and performance has been one of the key factors for selecting this connector in terminating 18-24AWG wires to a PCB. - The next generation of IDC connector moves beyond all of the technical and performance attributes to address the “User Friendliness” of the product.
