New wire-to-board connectors speed interconnect assembly

Now available through TTI Europe, Molex's CP-6.5 wire-to-board connectors benefit from full keying and colour-pairing enhancing user-safety while simplifying and speeding up consumer and industrial interconnect assembly applications. With a wide spectrum of colour-coded housings to differentiate mating possibilities, the 6.5mm wire-to-board receptacles and PCB headers provide quick and easy identification of mated pairs for assembly and repair. Connectors with mismatched colors do not mate. Unique keying features within each header and receptacle housing prevent entry of receptacle into header when mis-mated. A positive lock feature produces an audible click when fully mated. The absence of drain-holes in the PCB headers ensures compatibility with conformal coating (potting).Kinked soldertails provide added header-to-PCB retention during solder reflow. The headers are capable of 260C wave-solder-processes and therefore ideally suited for high-temperature assembly processing.
