I Have 6 Connector Kits Giveaway. Tell Me What You Think of SKEDD Direct Plug-in Technology

rscasny

Back in mid-May, I ran a short blog on Phoenix Contact's SKEDD Connectors. At the time, I thought they were interesting. The connectors employ SKEDD technology which is a means mounting PCB connectors directly to a PCB via through-contacted bore holes. After I posted the story, one of our top members, , commented to me that he saw they were interesting as well; he had seen them at an Embedded World. Well, I mentioned this to my boss who asked the supplier for some connector kits. A little while I received them and had my colleague,   take a photo of one.image

 

I received 6 connectors kits last week. And now I have to decide on what I should do with them. There are any number of ways these kits could be used. I feel the best way is to have members examine the connectors in the kit, and experiment with them, as they see fit.

 

A Little About the SKEDD Connectors

I think part of the challenge is that the kit is only part of a larger system. But interconnects are an important component of a piece of hardware. This interconnect system is unique. These combine direct plug-in technology to the PCB with push-in spring termination and tool-free installation. The contact zone is made up of two flexible halves that bend easily, enabling the contacts to easily adjust to plated-through holes on a printed circuit board. Upon insertion, the contact has sufficient force to establish a gas-tight connection with no special requirements for the PCB.

 

So I'm looking for some members who want to play around with these wire-to-board connectors and write a blog in this group to tell about your experience. You might have to get a little creative to experiment with them. But that's part of the fun!

 

What you have to do to get a SKEDD connector kit for FREE

Tell me why you'd like on of these kits, what you would do with them, or how someone could use them. Maybe you want to compare the connectors in this kit with out wire-to-board connectors. Maybe you want to experiment with connectivity and durability. Go for it! Just tell me what you want to do in the COMMENTS section below. I'll contact you when I decide on who gets the kits.

  • I have one more kit left. I you would be interested in getting this connector kit and writing a blog about it, let me know.

    Dear Sir,

    I am interested to receive the kit to test the performance of the connector kit and willing to write a blog on my experience with the connectors.

     

    Connectors are the important linking components to the MCU and actuators or sensors. They help in coupling of different hardware and communicating data to master and salve kits. For a hardware design Engineer this kind of components are very important to select and pair easily. When designing a new prototype the selection of SKEED direct plug-in technology connectors help to test the system connections faster and replace for the exact port. The giveaway sample help to compare the performance with screw terminals connectors.

     

    For students this kind of connectors help to design prototype and is easy to carry to exhibit. SKEED connectors will be screwless terminal help students to disconnect the robotic parts hardware easily.

     

    Through this giveaway I would like to test the usecase of connectors in my future project to interface the MCU and actuators.

    Ok. I can send it to you. Your address hasn't changed? If it has, send it to my today. Thanks.
