Board-to-board connectors Single Pair Ethernet – SPE

Connection technology for devices – PC board terminal blocks Screw terminal blocks The connection technology of screw terminal blocks, proven millions of times, is based on a metallic clamping body installed in an insulating body. The stripped wire is clamped and contacted directly or indirectly by a screw. An integrated wire protection or lifting system protects the wire during clamping. The screw terminal blocks are suitable for solid wires and Individualization options Color Soldering variants stranded wires with ferrules. Depending on the design, they are suitable for connection cross-sections...

Connection technology for devices – PC board terminal blocks Spring clamp terminal blocks The product family consists of terminal blocks based on a spring clamp connection. By spring clamp connection, we mean an electrical connection produced by clamping a single stripped conductor by means of a spring. It is suitable for solid wires and stranded wires with a nominal cross-section of 0.08–2.5 mm2 and enables direct clamping without conductor preparation, direct clamping with splice protection, and indirect clamping via a ferrule or pin cable lug. Individualization options Color Soldering variants...

Connection technology for devices – PC board terminal blocks Ethernet terminal blocks PC board terminal blocks instead of connectors work for devices that are installed quickly, do not require frequent pluggable/ disconnectable connections, and are generally installed in one location long term – such as sensors, luminaires and IP cameras. PC board terminal blocks are, and increasingly will be, an advantageous alternative to customary Ethernet connectors and connection technologies

Connection technology for devices - PC board terminal blocks Different applications require corresponding mechanical requirements, data transmission rates and PoE power supply. Accordingly, different connectors are available. Properties Cable Construction Fast Ethernet & Industrial Ethernet 2 pairs; 4 wires; 10/100 MBit/s; PoE1 (15.4 W); PoE + 1 (30 W), up to 100 m Single Pair Ethernet 1 pair; 2 wires; 10/100/1000 MBit/s; Power over Data Line (60 W), up to 1,000 m Benefits > Easy handling, color coding > Easy installation, without special tools > Pluggable or permanently soldered > Wide coverage...

Connection technology for devices – Pin headers and female headers Pin headers and female headers Female headers To match the terminal blocks, METZ CONNECT offers a broad range of pin headers. To match the terminal blocks, METZ CONNECT offers a broad range of female headers. We offer female headers for standard soldering processes as well as reflow-capable versions in THR or SMD/SMT, as loose bulk goods or in taped form (Tape & Reel).

Connection technology for devices – Board-to-board connectors Board-to-board connectors Female headers For connecting assemblies to a PC board or for connecting PC boards to each other, we offer a wide variety of boardto-board pin headers. These B2B pin headers are available in THR and SMT versions. SMT versions in Tape & Reel packaging are available on request. The board-to-board female header is the counterpart to the B2B pin header. The female header contains the spring contacts that match the pin header. B2B female headers are available in THR versions.

Connection technology for devices – PC board jacks / plugs PC board jacks / plugs After starting out in telephony in the 1980s, RJ45 gradually transformed data technology and today is indispensable in data centers, building technology and cabling, as well as in everyday devices. Proven billions of times, it covers a major proportion of all data communication interfaces – independently of applications and specific manufacturers or interest groups. We offer the ideally matched solution for a wide range of requirements and applications. In addition to connection solutions for RJ12 with THR, we also...
