9159-650 Series Vertical, Dual-Row, Top-Entry Card-Edge Connectors

Aug. 5, 2022
The 9159-650 Series from KYOCERA AVX features twice as many proven-robust, gold-plated BeCu compression contacts as the 00-9159 Series.

Designed to provide significant functionality in a broad range of perpendicular, PCB-mating automotive, industrial, and lighting applications with harsh operating environments, the 9159-650 Series of vertical, dual-row, top-entry card-edge connectors features a high-temperature thermoplastic insulator rated for UL94 V-0 flammability performance and equipped with KYOCERA AVX’s proven-robust compression contact system that employs gold-plated beryllium copper contacts to ensure high-reliability, high-signal-integrity performance in challenging conditions.

 

The connectors are available with four to 12 contacts rated for a full 2.5A each and arranged in a staggered, dual-row configuration that allows for twice the number of contact positions in roughly the same small form factor as the 00-9159 Series. They also accept 1.6mm-thick mating PCBs with gold-plated pads and offer options for both polarization, in which case the mating PCB layout is modified to form a key that prevents improper insertion, and compatibility with automated pick-and-place and SMT termination equipment, in which case Kapton tape is applied prior to reeling. In addition, the connectors are rated for 300VAC and 10 cycles in operating temperatures extending from -40 to +257°F (-40 to +125°C).

  • 2.5 Amps per contact current rating meets robust application requirements
  • Doubled number of positions with dual row solution
  • Optional kapton tape version supports pick and place robotic placement and SMT termination
  • Available version with polarization where the mating PCB layout is modified to form a key, to avoid error during insertion
  • Gold plated BeCu contact system for high reliability in harsh environments
