GTK, Press-fit, D-sub connectors

No soldering necessary for press-fit connectors

News Release from: GTK
10/08/2006

Introducing a new range of high performance, RoHS-compliant connectors, GTK's press-fit D-subminiature terminations provide robust mounting to PCBs without the need for soldering.

Press-fit technology reduces assembly time and cost significantly, creating a tight and reliable seal and removing the risk of uneven solder flow or contamination of sensitive components. Moreover, connectors are easily removed or replaced by applying pressure in the reverse direction.

GTK’s press-fit D-sub connectors, manufactured with a 6mm profile height, deliver a processing temperature of 230-245degC for 5 seconds. Devices are available in 9-, 15-, 25- and 37-way options, and are suitable for use on all PCBs and backplanes for telecommunications and data communications systems. A range of mounting hardware options is available, including board locks, standoffs and threaded inserts.
