AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, has introduced its new 9276 series discrete wire-to-board ‘poke-home‘ connector, simplifying installation and providing a quick and reliable termination in a sleek 2.5mm pitch SMT package. Suitable for a broad range of industrial and commercial markets, users simply strip the wires and insert them into the connector. AVX provides a small insertion / extraction tool which will allow the wires to easily be replaced up to five times.


Developed for harsh industrial and Solid State Lighting (SSL) applications, the connector has been designed using a high spring force Beryllium Copper upper spring contact which accepts a wide range (18-24 AWG solid or stranded) of wire to meet multiple applications within a single connector. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 position devices are available. By utlilizing a dual contact design 9276 series connectors offer a higher current rating of up to 6A than competing products while minimizing PCB space. For example, the four position connector has a footprint of 90mm² while competing products require 160mm². The dual-contact design also provides two solder points for each wire eliminating the need for external anchor tabs.

Comments product manager Tom Anderson: “Many products on the market today include a small number of discrete wires which connect components to a board. Our 9276 series ‘poke-home‘ connectors make this process simple, quick and reliable - which makes the device very termination-friendly within the factory as well as in the field with electrical installers.”

Typical applications include: connecting discrete wired components such as fans, motors, switches, LEDs, sensors and drives directly to a PCB; bringing power, ground and signals onto a PCB; and daisy-chaining PCB’s together to create a continuous string of boards.
