Vertical Top Entry Connectors 18-26 AWG: 00-9296

Features & Benefits

Dual Beam box contact provides maximum mechanical stability and wire retention
Tape and reel packaged for automated SMT placement
Will accept either solid or stranded wire, 18-26AWG, plated or un-plated wires
Simple strip and insert for wire loading, with easy twist and pull for wire removal

Typical Applications

Industrial/Ruggedized Wire-to-Board applications
Replace hard soldering of wire to a PCB
Replace costly 2-Piece header and receptacle products

The new SMT vertical top entry connector allows for 18AWG to 26AWG wires to be simply stripped and inserted into the connector body at 180 degree orientation to the top side of the PCB. This single connector will replace existing 2-Piece WTB solutions where a header is soldered onto the PCB and a secondary crimp-to-wire receptacle assembly is plugged in. Available in 1-6 positions, each connector will accept the entire wire gauge range for either solid or stranded wires at varying current ratings supported by each wire size. Once inserted, wires can easily be removed or replaced by twisting/unscrewing or by using a small blade extraction tool.
