Product catalog summary
General Overview
MiniBridge connectors are compact, single-row cable connector systems with a 1.27 mm pitch, designed for space-saving connections between PCBs and decentralized function units. They are used in various industries including automotive, mechanical engineering, medical technology, and consumer electronics. The connectors are available in SMT and IDC variants, with temperature-resistant plastic housing suitable for lead-free reflow soldering.
Technical Details
The connectors are designed with a pitch of 1.27 mm and can handle up to 8 A per contact, depending on the cable. They come in various configurations including vertical and right-angle male connectors, and female connectors with 90° and 180° cable outlets. Interlocking options include a positive lock for high vibration/shock loads and a friction lock for normal loads.
Available Terminations
MiniBridge connectors offer various termination options including vertical male and female connectors with 90° and 180° cable outlets, and right-angle male and female connectors.
Assembly and Features
The connectors feature a pick-and-place cover for automatic assembly, reliable retention force due to metal clips, and guiding elements for precise positioning on PCBs. They are designed to prevent shadow formation in lighting applications, ensuring uniform light distribution.
Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics
SMT and IDC connectors have specific electrical and mechanical characteristics, including a temperature range of -55 to 150°C, current ratings up to 8.7 A, and dielectric strength of 500 Vrms. They are designed for 500 mating cycles and have specific insertion and withdrawal forces.
Cable Types and Specifications
Cables are available in PVC, high-temperature TPE-ET, and halogen-free TPE-O, with specific temperature ranges, voltage ratings, and dielectric strengths. They are designed for easy recycling with no toxic additives.
Ordering Information
Part numbers and configurations are provided for various connector types, including right-angle and vertical male SMT connectors, and right-angle female SMT connectors, with options for different pin counts and colors.
