MiniBridge(TM) Versions with 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 Poles Now Available
ADELBERG, GERMANY - November 15, 2006 - ERNI is expanding its new, single-row cable connector system with a pitch of 1.27 mm (0.050 inches). Originally launched in a 4-pin version, additional variants are now available with 2, 3, 6 and 8 poles. This expanded portfolio provides space-saving and flexible board-to-cable connections. The MiniBridge connectors are ideally suited for diverse sensor, actuator, power-supply, and data applications in the fields of automotive and industrial electronics, computer technology, consumer electronics, and medical device technology.
Despite its very small dimensions, the miniature cable connector components offer a high current-carrying capacity of up to 4 A (at 20°C, depending on the cable). At 70° the current-carrying capacity is 3 A, and at 100°C the capacity is 2 A. The wide temperature range of -55° to +125°C provides an additional crucial advantage in making the connector suitable for diverse and demanding applications. The availability of straight or angled male connectors, and female connectors where the cables are fed out at 90 or 180 degrees, enable this connector system to overcome virtually any spatial restrictions.
Flexible and Robust
The male connectors have SMT termination, and the female connectors use insulation displacement connector (IDC) termination. In addition, female connectors are available with different types of locking latches to address normal vibration/shock loads (black model type), and applications involving heavy vibration/shock loads (red model type). The robust version (i.e. red connector) requires a tool to open the lock.
This low-cost interconnect system incorporates the proven performance features of the well-established 2-row SMC family, and is designed for fully automatic pick and place, or processing on SMT process lines. For SMT processing, the MiniBridge male connectors are available in tape-on-reel packaging. In addition, with their heat-resistant plastic housing, MiniBridge connectors are suitable for processing with lead-free reflow soldering (RoHS compliant). The female connectors are equipped with cable guiding that ensures easy and fast attachment of a ribbon cable with a pitch of 1.27 mm, or of a single conductor. The IDC terminal is configured for AWG-26 conductors (solid or stranded). Partial loading is also possible.
