AVX introduces a single-contact version of the proven 9176 Series Insulated Displacement Connector (IDC). IDC is widely recognized for providing highly reliable, air-tight wire-to-board connections in a variety of harsh environment applications.
The new 9176-65X single-pin IDC contact is backward compatible with existing 9176 series connectors in terms of contacts and footprint, showing the same rugged and reliable performance as this series, while reducing costs by 25% and 50% Width (2.5mm) and 5mm) and 10% height (5.05mm and 5.6mm), the latter is particularly useful for SSL applications because it helps prevent shadows.
The newly designed 9176-65X series of contacts are designed to meet the stringent requirements of customers for cost and performance in the SSL, smart grid, smart meter, machine control, commercial building control, industrial control, medical and transportation markets. Functional caps that hold contacts in place before automatic placement and then act as an assembly tool for terminating wires, effectively eliminating the costs associated with manual soldering, crimping, and two-piece connectors
"When we first developed the 9176 series, the market required a rated current of up to 10A, so we used dual IDC tines. However, the current market demand is roughly in the range of 3-5A, and we have been under pressure from the market price, so we developed A single-tooth 9176 IDC is required to meet lower current ratings and reduce costs. "AVX." So, when our product tests on the new 9176-65X series showed that they were able to achieve currents up to 9A through 18AWG wires. Often, higher than ambient temperature limits current levels. So we just need The fact that a single tine can reach the 9A rating fully proves the high-quality design of IDC. The contact resistance of IDC is less than 3mOhms , which effectively reduces heat accumulation. "
The 9176-65X series contacts are rated at 600VAC, 5 – 9A, have an operating temperature range of -40C to + 125C, accept 24-18AWG wires, and are available in two configurations to provide maximum flexibility (end cap end and Straight line cap), this series also passed RoHS certification, and passed UL and CAN / CSA C22.2 certification, has passed automotive shock, vibration and temperature cycle tests, and has waterproof performance. The company said that the series can be immediately integrated with products in tape and reel packaging, which can perform single-contact automatic placement and SMT reflow soldering.
