Tested to Automotive Standards for Reliability and Robustness
The
AVX 917X
series of surface mount
SSL
(
Solid State Lighting
)
IDC (Insulation Displacement Connectors)
were developed to meet the
harsh automotive
and
industrial
market applications for connecting individual wires directly to a PCB ranging from 14 AWG to 28 AWG. This industry proven contact system has been tested to
automotive
levels of shock, vibration, and temperature cycling to prove their reliability and robustness. The simplicity of inserting a wire into the connector with a small tool allows a wide range of devices to be connected to the PCB without soldering. In
SSL
applications specifically, these
connectors
are used to bring power and signal onto the PCB or are used to
daisy chain
multiple boards together in a long string. While the
IDC
contact provides a gas-tight connection to conductor of the wire, the housing has been designed to grab the insulation of the wire to provide a positive strain relief even in the harshest conditions. In case of repair, the wires can be removed and replace up to three times.
