Removable wire-to-board connector is solderless
Kyocera AVX has introduced a series of solderless wire-to-board removable edge connectors. Called 9169-000, they combine insulation displacement contacts for the wire with beryllium copper compression contacts for board edge pattern. Locating ribs engage with slots on the PCB edge for polarisation against improper insertion, and moulded plastic clips drop into holes in the PCB to improve retention. “It is ...
Snap-in electrolytics rated for 5,000 hours at 105°C
