Discrete Wire-to-Board IDC Connectors

Kyocera AVX surface mount Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) were developed to connect individual wires directly to a PCB ranging from 14AWG to 28AWG for automotive and industrial applications. The simple way to insert the connector with a specific tool allows a wide range of devices to be connected to the PCB without the need of soldering. In SSL applications specifically, these connectors are used to bring power and signal onto the PCB or are used to daisy chain multiple boards together in a long string. While the IDC contact provides a gas-tight connection to conductor of the wire, the housing has been designed to grab the insulation of the wire to provide a positive strain relief even in the harshest conditions. In case of repair, the wires can be removed and replaced up to three times.

Features and Benefits:

• IDC contact provides a gas-tight connection to the PCB for long term reliability
• Connector housing captures the wire insulation for positive strain relief
• Optional through and end caps lock in place to provide maximum strain relief
• Low and high volume assembly tools to match production volumes
• Reduced total applied cost versus solder or crimp processes
• Tested to automotive levels on shock, vibration and temperature cycling for reliability
• High temperature insulator capable of up to 260°C reflow soldering processes

Secure Locking FFC Connectors

Kyocera AVX FFC connectors offer design engineers a solution that helps to reduce dimensions and weight for a more flexible solution. It can be considered a simple method of connecting systems and clusters within the cabin of the passenger and commercial vehicle. The FFC connectors allow a correct alignment of the cable and can guarantee the strong automotive conditions as vibration and height temperature. The AVX/Kyocera series of secure locking FFC/FPC is a highly reliable connection for any in-cabin application.

Features and Benefits

• Accidental removal situation is quite possible
• Standard 0.50mm pitch with gold flash finish for higher reliability soldering
• “Cable detecting” contact can be supplied as optional for Vertical version 6801
• Same shaped FFC/FPC cable allows accurate positioning of cable in connector and one cable specification for all

Board-to-Board Connectors

AVX board-to-board interconnect has been designed specifically for the unique Solid State Lighting (SSL) market requiring coplanar (horizontal-to-horizontal) PCB mating with a 5A current rating in the smallest package available. This solution permits two PCBs to be mated end-to-end creating strips of LED lighting. Designed specifically for the unique Solid State Lighting (SSL) market requiring coplanar (horizontal-to-horizontal) PCB mating with a 5A current rating in the smallest package available. These single sided SMT connectors are perfect for both FR4 and metal boards where you need to butt the boards up together to minimise separation. Availability of both white and black insulation colours make them perfect for lighting as well as industrial applications. With sizes from 2p-6p, these high reliability connectors boast gold plated beryllium copper receptacle contacts for harsh environments.
