Phoenix Contact introduced its new double-row direct connectors with crimp connection. The CDDC 1,5 and CDDC 2,5 product series are ideal for applications with a high contact density.
SKEDD is a mounting technology for connecting PCB connectors directly to the PCB via through-contacted bore holes. Mounting is tool-free and an additional header is not required. Body-bound rivets on the side of the connector ensure a reliable and vibration-resistant connection.
SKEDD direct plug-in technology combines the advantages of two established mounting technologies – press-in technology and direct plug-in connection. Due to the high mounting force, a gas-tight connection is established between the contacts and PCB in the case of press-in technology. However, this mounting type is not suitable for reversible connections.
In contrast, direct plug-in connection requires contact pads on both sides of the PCB and is therefore only used for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections on the edges of the PCB. Innovative SKEDD direct plug-in technology now enables reversible connections that can be easily plugged in and ensure long-term stability while providing maximum flexibility for the PCB layout.
SKEDD contacts from Phoenix Contact consist of two pairs of legs that adapt to the diameter of the through-contacted PCB holes when inserted. This increased stability of the contact ensures a very stable connection between the connector and PCB, even in the event of mechanical strain such as vibrations.
The normal contact force of the direct connectors is designed in such a way that a safe electrical connection is ensured yet the connector can still be disconnected from the PCB during maintenance.
