Male and female connectors with pcb fixings
The automated insertion of components into
pcb's is increasing.
To meet this market demand, HARTING has
developed connectors which can be assem-
bled and fixed to the pcb in one process.
To fix the connectors HARTING offers snap-in
clips as well as kinked pins.
In the soldering process, all component termi-
nations including the snap-in clips are soldered
and therefore mechanically secured. This pro-
vides mechanical protection for the soldered
contacts during mating and unmating of the
connector.
Mouldings with snap-in clips offer the following
advantages:
● Cost reduction when compared with the
screw or rivet assembly methods due to the
soldering of the clip along with other compo-
nents in one process.
● The orientation of the clip after soldering in
the plated through hole provides mechanical
protection against the tensile forces arising
from the mating and unmating of the con-
nector.
It is possible to supply the majority of male
and female connectors with solder termina-
tion with snap-in clips (existing articles see
product pages).
