New device eliminates need for board to board connectors
A new plastic connector is said to eliminate the need to use board to board connectors and provide a direct interface into the box.
Developed by ITT Interconnect Solutions, the APD direct connector is connected to a pcb internally, instead of using the standard crimped cable connection and, according to ITT, as it requires no harnessing it can save board space.
The connector is sealed to IP67/IP69K and has been designed for use in industrial, transportation and military applications. Operating voltage is 48V maximum.
The connector is available in 6, 7, 19 37 or 51 way versions, plus a four way configuration for sensor applications. Machined contacts have a press-in contour and up to four colour and mechanical codings are available. It is compatible with selective wave solder processing.
