TE extends Micro-MaTch cable assembly range

The economical Micro-MaTch Value-line cable assemblies are suited for applications such as building surface control, home automation and alarm equipment, lighting and air and/or climate control units. With a cost-effective design that does not use gold-plated contacts, the Micro-MaTch miniature connector system saves space on the PCB, yet delivers highly reliable, gas-tight and corrosion-free connections between contacts and insulation displacement contacts to help prevent wear-through of the plating layer.

The Micro-MaTch Value-line is in stock and can be delivered with minimal lead-time. The TE industrial Micro-MaTch connector family was originally developed to meet customers’ needs for internal wiring able to withstand constant vibrations within industrial electronic products. 

Available in a variety of wire-to-board and board-to-board interconnections, the Micro-MaTch Value-line contact helps prevent fretting corrosion. Relative movements caused by vibrations/thermal expansion between male and female contacts are absorbed by an additional positioning spring in the female part. By preventing movements on the contact spot, a gas tight connection can make the Micro-MaTch contact spring system fretting corrosion resistant.
