PCB Connectors The PCB connector is used when a permanent connection of flat cable to the PC board is required. The cable is terminated to the PCB connector making a reliable gas-tight connection with CWs patented Torq-Tite contacts. The connectors pins are then soldered to the board. CWs PCB connectors are approved by the U.S. Defense Department and are qualified to Mil-DTL-83503/23. Available with or without Built-in strain relief protective cover lip for is available to protect cable end or daisy chain contacts if cable is pulled. applications. Patented Torq-Tite contact keeps conductor under constant tension. Assures a mechanically and electrically sound, gas-tight connection. No bare shoulders. No exposure of unnecessary sections of the contact and possible shorting at the PC board interface. Sturdy, yet flexible solder posts, able to withstand bending and straightening. 34 130 James Way, Southampton, PA 18966 - 3838 Telephone: (215) 355-7080 Fax: (215) 355-1088 www.cwind.comPCB Connectors Contact PCB Connector Features Sharp points allow contact 10, 20, 26, 34, 40, 50, 60, pin versions to pierce tough insulation Tin-lead plating, standard gold plating also available materials Available with or without strain relief lip Contact tines are firmly Available with or without cover lip for cable end or daisy connected to the body of chain application the contact Rugged, lightweight UL 94V-0 thermoplastic construction Accepts 28-30 AWG stranded or solid conductors No bare shoulders on the contact at the PC board interface. Spring temper, phosphor bronze material resists breakage during bending or straightening operations One tail length can be used with 1/8 in. or 1/16 in. PC boards Rounded tip provides lead-in to mate with PC board holes Strain Relief A molded-in strain relief is an optional feature on CW PCB connectors. (Specify CWR-140 or CWR-143 series). This lip, upon installation of the cover, creates a strain relief bend in the cable, inhibiting the transfer of any tension on the cable to the contact lines. Cover Lip For additional protection on cable end terminations, the CW PCB connector is available with a cover lip to insulate the ends of the cables conductors. This eliminates possible shorts and allows you to position connectors more closely on your PC board. (Specify CWR-140 or CWR-141 series). Assembly To terminate CW PCB connectors to flat cable, use CT301 86/81 assembly press. The cable is applied directly to the IDC contacts in the connector base and then the cover is assembled. 130 James Way, Southampton, PA 18966 - 3838 Telephone: (215) 355-7080 Fax: (215) 355-1088 www.cwind.com 35
