24A connector strip snaps to length for R&D or short production runs

Hylec-APL has introduced a 24A PCB-mount rising-clamp connector strip that can be snapped into different lengths, describing it as: “particularly useful and cost-effective for R&D projects and short production runs”.

Hylec 36 pole Terminal Block V2 Sept 21 7x5

Called DTBN7001, the strips are 36 poles long, although can be supplied pre-shortened, and connect to the PCB through 5mm-pitch pins (4.5mm long, 1.3mm diameter hole recommended). Mounted, they sit 15.5mm tall and are 8.5mm front-to-back.

Voltage rating is 250Vac with 4kV impulse withstanding (dielectric strength is ≥2.5kV) and operation is at up to 100°C. Solid or stranded cable from 0.2 to 3.6mm² can be accepted (the aperture is 2.9 x 3mm).

Materials are: UL94-0 flame-retardant polycarbonate, zinc-plated steel rising clamps and tinned nickel-plated brass pins and terminals with guided pin alignment and anti-solder wicking.

Snapping is “by hand or with a blunt knife to suit OEM requirements”, said the company.

Parts are available direct from Hylec and Farnell.
