Featured AVX Connector Product

AVX 9276 Series W2B Poke-In Connectors

The AVX 9276 Series Wire to Board Poke-In Connectors are discrete connectors that provide a quick and reliable wire-to-board termination in a sleek 2.5mm pitch SMT package for a broad range of industrial and commercial markets. The 9276 Series Connectors accept a wide range (18-24 AWG solid or stranded) of wire by simply stripping the wire and inserting into the connector. The AVX 9276 Series Wire to Board Poke-In Connectors were developed for harsh industrial and Solid State Lighting (SSL) applications. Designed with a high spring force Beryllium Copper upper spring contact to provide a lance type retention to capture and retain the wire. Applications for the AVX 9276 include connecting discrete wire components directly to the PCB, bringing power and signals onto a PCB, and daisy chaining PCBs together to create a continuous string of boards.

AVX IDC Connector: 9177 Series

The 9177 series IDC Connector from AVX offers theflexibility to connect 1, 2, or 3 wires in a single row on the PCBusing IDC technology. The application tool inserts the wires into theslots and cuts through the insulation to expose the inner cores,providing a strong, secure, homogenous joint with the contact. AVX´s 9177 series IDC connector accepts stranded wire between 14 and 20 AWG with no preparation.
