TE Connectivity Receptacle Connectors & Hermaphroditic Blade Connectors

TE Connectivity has introduced new wire-to-board plug connectors and board-to-board connectors to its family of hermaphroditic blade and receptacle connectors. The connectors are designed to make connecting of aluminum-clad printed circuit boards faster and easier.

The Wire-to-Board connector is a new plug connector that mates to the new part number series of the surface mount Hermaphroditic Blade and Receptacle board to board connectors. The connector provides power to the first LED printed circuit board in a string of rigid printed circuit board light strips.

The hermaphroditic blade and receptacle connector is a new SMT connector and is intended for use with in-line board-to-board applications.
