industrial cables in which all wires in a cable can be contacted in one operation without stripping (Fig.2).
• Quick Lock: A spring force terminating technology that achieves a reliable contact by means of a spring when activated with a screwdriver, and that is also easily manageable for currents greater than 16 A (Fig.3).
• preLink®: A termination technology for shielded system cable that can be used for the highest data rates (10 Gigabit) (Fig.4).
As a result of these developments, the mezzanine
connector becomes a universal family for device connectivity technology. Uniform execution of all internal and external device
interfaces on the PCB side is the key to signifi cant process optimisation, because risks and redundancies, from the design in to manufacturing to repair, are avoided.
Universal solution This article shows that it is to provide manufacturers with a universal solution for their device-side PCB in order to cover the requirements placed on industrial devices today
and in the future, including those faced by the controller, for example. These PCB connectors are inserted into the standard manufacturing process without additional process steps. The risk of damage to the PCBs that additional fi tting and soldering could cause is eliminated. Moreover, the miniaturisation of the connectors sustainably supports the device manufacturers’ efforts towards miniaturisation. Equipment manufacturers now have a broad range of termination systems for their devices, allowing them to simplify device installation for their customers.
Conclusion New connector solutions are able to follow the innovation cycles of the PCBs and can be altered accordingly where short innovation cycles are crucial for competitiveness. Field-installable termination technology provides end-to- end solutions for all internal and external device interfaces. These developments combine innovative capabilities on the PCB side with continuity in termination systems, resulting in signifi cant customer benefi ts.
