FCI, a leading supplier of connectors and interconnect systems, has added its PV® wire-to-board connector system to the Basics+® service program. PV is a superior performance, innovative crimp-to-wire system that connects discrete wires to printed circuit boards. The PV receptacle system utilizes a dual-metal spring that maintains consistent contact pressure through 1,000 mating cycles and is available in a choice of different spring pressures for customized insertion and withdrawal forces. PV receptacles mate with 0.025˝ (0.634mm) square posts and may be installed in mini-latch housings or used discretely.
