EZ-BoardWare PCB contact is secure and cost effective
Harwin is expanding its popular EZ-BoardWare PCB socket portfolio with a new contact which can accommodate mating pins ranging from 0.8mm to 1.5mm in diameter. These new products complement an existing range, enabling Harwin to offers parts with pin diameters from 0.8mm to 1.8mm. A cost-effective alternative to turned PCB sockets, EZ-Board sockets are designed for SMT assembly and are suited for high-volume applications. The components come in industry-standard tape & reel packaging, allowing them to be automatically placed, which minimises installed cost.
The new contacts are stackable on 2.54mm pitch spacing. The design features a two-point contact system which ensures secure retention, whilst facilitating easy removal and replacement of the socketed component.
Product Manager Paul Gillam comments: "Ideal for contact pins, discrete components, sensors etc, these new EZ-Board sockets will suit applications in many mid- to high-volume markets, ranging from consumer electronics through to the industrial, instrumentation and control systems environments. Typical examples include wireless security systems, ventilation fan stators, fire detectors and electronic switches, where low-cost, effective connections need to be achieved within the demands of high-volume assembly practices".
