PV® Wire-to-Board Connector System Added to BASICS+® Service Program
Share:
ETTERS, PA. (February 7, 2007) - FCI, a leading supplier of connectors and interconnect systems, has added its PV® wire-to-board connector system to the Basics+® service program. PV is a superior performance, innovative crimp-to-wire system that connects discrete wires to printed circuit boards. The PV receptacle system utilizes a dual-metal spring that maintains consistent contact pressure through 1,000 mating cycles and is available in a choice of different spring pressures for customized insertion and withdrawal forces. PV receptacles mate with 0.025" (0.634mm) square posts and may be installed in Mini-Latch housings or used discretely.
The FCI Basics+ program, launched in November 2006, offers outstanding service on industry-standard connectors, including readily available stock on standard solutions at authorized distributors, a fast technical support hotline (basics.help@fciconnect.com), and a dedicated micro site (www.fciconnect.com/basics) designed to make choosing the right product easy.
In addition, FCI has introduced the PV® wire-to-board connector system designer's kit to support customers interested in utilizing the system's higher performance in their next design. Each kit includes a sample wire harness and a printed circuit board mounted with "friction-fitting" header. To receive a sample kit, interested design engineers may send their requests to pvdemo@fciconnect.com.
"The addition of the PV contact system to the Basics+ program further demonstrates FCI's commitment to providing our customers not only with innovative products but excellent service to go with it," said Sean Riley, Market Manager. "The PV line of products is ideal for applications that can benefit from the higher reliability and retention it offers."
Pricing for tin-plated PV crimp-to-wire receptacles is $.18 each at 1k pieces. PV receptacles with 30 µ" of gold plating are priced at $.26 each at 1k pieces.
