Electrical Power & Protection
KYOCERA AVX, a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components has released the new 9288-000 series hermaphroditic wire-to-wire (WTW) and wire-to-board (WTB) connectors for lighting and industrial applications. These unique two-piece connectors facilitate WTW termination with two identical mating halves, which simplifies BOMs. Both halves of the new 9288-000 series hermaphroditic connectors feature orange or white glass-filled PBT insulators equipped with plastic latches for good mechanical retention. The company’s field-proven poke-home contact technology enables quick, easy and tool-free in-field wire termination. Made of phosphor bronze with lead-free tin-over-nickel plating, these poke-home contacts also establish durable, reliable, high-integrity connections and deliver excellent electrical and mechanical performance.
The new 9288-000 series hermaphroditic WTW and WTB connectors are currently available with two to four contacts on a 5 mm pitch, compatible with 16 to 18 AWG solid or stranded wire. They are rated for 6 A (18 AWG) or 7 A (16 AWG), 600 V AC RMS or the DC equivalent, 20 mating cycles, three wire replacement cycles, and operating temperatures extending from -40 to 125°C. They are also UL approved and RoHS compliant, shipped in tape-and-reel or bulk packaging.
“These connectors leverage our field-proven poke-home contact technology to enable quick, easy and tool-free in-field termination, and deliver excellent electrical and mechanical performance throughout the product lifecycle,” said Perrin Hardee, product marketing manager for KYOCERA AVX. “They also feature a locking mechanism to further improve reliability and WTW versions simplify BOMs since they’re comprised of two of the same part number.”
