Economy Power 2.5 (EP 2.5) is a new type of single-row crimp connector system. EP 2.5 comprises of new plug housings, contacts, and headers, based on a .100” centerline (2.5 mm pitch), which makes it a very compact solution.
As good handling properties are essential for such a compact connector to achieve a correct and reliable interconnection during assembly, EP 2.5 housings and contacts (terminals) were designed to help the workers on the shop floor with their manual tasks. The low-insertion force terminals, for instance, have an asymmetrically shape which means that they can only be loaded in the housing’s cavity in the correct way.
This type of tactile feedback works even under adverse shop-floor conditions with noise and distraction.
EP 2.5 connector halves are available with 2 to 20 positions. This high number can be utilized to integrate up to 20 discrete wires with 26 to 22 AWG size into a single PC board section of roughly two inches length. As board space is increasingly often at a premium, the EP 2.5 interconnection system offers ideal conditions for contacting densely packed small boards. EP 2.5 connectors are intermateable with similar products in the market to facilitate simple retrofitting.
