PicoBlade™ is offered in wire-to-board and wire-to-wire options. The system saves about 45% of PCB space compared to typical 2.00mm wire-to-board systems. It is a single row system, available in 2 to 15 circuits, with both surface mount and through-hole headers. A full range of automatic, semi-automatic and manual tooling is available to support crimp harness assembly using discrete wires.
● Features & Benefits:
● Friction Lock where the crimp receptacle is equipped with two latching ramps so it is held securely to the header. This minimizes the chance of accidental unmating due to vibration or mishandling.
● Reliable Terminal where the two-point contact design assures a reliable electrical connection even under conditions of low current, low voltage, and/or vibration
● Polarized Mating Geometry where the crimp receptacles are polarized to the vertical and right angle headers to prevent harness-to-header mis-mating
● Solder Tabs where the two solder tabs assure header-to-PCB retention and act as a strain relief for the SMT solder tails. This minimizes the chance of cracked solder joints due to mishandling.
● Optional Vacuum Caps for the vertical surface mount headers allow high volume placement using industry standard pick-up nozzles.
