PC socket contact with stamped and rolled clip
Radiall
Radiall NSX series Size 22 socket contact
Radiall has introduced the Radiall NSX series Size 22 socket contact for pc boards, to help reduce the cost of ARINC 600 connectors and thus reduce costs of overall connectors and their manufacture.
It combines a stamped and rolled clip inside a screw-machined body, which considerably reduces the manufacturing complexity and cost of the contacts.
The PC tail contacts are completely intermateable with existing ARINC 600 plug connectors, are compatible with existing pc board layouts and are fully qualified under ARINC 600 specifications.
The stamped and rolled clip provides low insertion force and low electrical resistance through using three points of electrical contact, in contrast to the two points of traditional screw-machined contacts.
Stubbing is avoided, as the three springs centre the pin during mating.
The clip members are plated with 50 microinches of gold, with flash gold on the contact body to eliminate tin-lead and achieve RoHS compatibility.
In addition to the contact, a new one-piece insert offers additional cost reductions by replacing the traditional two-piece design and eliminating the complex manufacturing and assembly.
Inserts are supplied filled with nonremovable contacts to customer specifications; empty cavities can be loaded later.
Radiall NSX contacts are also available in a removable version for use with existing two-piece inserts.
