Original Press Release:
ERNI Now Offers Through-Hole Reflow Type C ERmet Female Connector
It's Designed for Lower-Cost Surface-Mount Production
Adelberg, Germany - December 19, 2005 - ERNI is now expanding its ERmet family of 2.0-mm HM connectors to include through-hole reflow (THR) versions of the type C connectors.
The right-angle type C ERmet THR female connector offers 55 (5 x 11) signal contacts on 25-mm modules. Thus, ERNI now offers type A, B, AB and C female ERmet connectors with THR termination. The ERmet female connector with THR termination is designed for economical, fully automatic, surface-mount- technology (SMT) placement of modern plug-in cards.
The new ERmet type C female connectors with THR termination and pre-alignment guides are available with or without a metal shield but are not equipped with pre-alignment pins. For fully automatic feeding into automatic placement machines, the new THR female connectors are available in tray packaging.
Its high-temperature-resistant thermoplastic (LCP) insulating body allows manufacturers to use the connector in all conventional SMT soldering processes (such as reflow soldering). The new THR-terminated ERmet female connectors are already configured for RoHS-compliant production. Additional specifications include a current-carrying capacity of 1.5 A (20 °C) and at least 250 mating cycles.
About ERmet
The ERmet family of connectors, with a 2.0-mm pitch, and compliant with IEC 61076-4-101, is used primarily in telecommunications, networking and IPCs. These connectors can be used to reliably transfer data at rates up to 1 Gbit per second. ERNI makes the ERmet connectors available with seven rows of contacts (five signal rows and two shield rows) or with 10 rows (eight for signals and two for shielding). Alternatives include standard and inverted connector types, connectors with or without shields, vertical female connectors, different contact lengths, press-fit or THR termination, and power connectors.
Pricing
Pricing for the new connectors starts at $3.00 for low quantities.
