The 9159-7X0 Series adds to the KYOCERA AVX portfolio of linear card-edge connectors by being the first to feature its beryllium copper spring contact system, which aims to deliver high electrical and mechanical reliability, high signal integrity, and high durability in harsh environment applications.
This spring contact system combined with the convenience of a double-ended, single-piece, and solder-free-mating card-edge design and the versatility enabled by its various configurations and plating makes the 9159-7X0 Series ideal for linear PCB mating in harsh industrial, LED lighting, automotive lighting, and transportation lighting applications.
The series is available in open- and closed-side configurations with high-temperature white or black UL94 V-0 insulators, five contact variations (4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 positions), gold or tin over nickel contact plating, and current ratings up to 2A per contact.
It is designed to mate with 1.5mm-thick (±0.15mm) PCBs with gold- or tin-plated pads and rated for 150VACrms or the DC equivalent, up to 1,000 cycles with gold-plated contacts (up to 20 with tin), and operating temperatures extending from -40°C to +130°C.
The 9159-7X0 Series is also UL and RoHS compliant and can be customized to suit customers’ specifications. Parts are shipped in bulk in quantities of 1,000 per bag.
