Enhanced DIN connectors

Erni Electronics has redesigned its right-angle female DIN connectors for daughter card applications.

The latest family of right-angled DIN 41612 connectors is available in type R, R/2 and R/3 variants. By using the ‘eye of the needle’ pressfit zone, the press-in force is reduced by about 25%, resulting in less stress on the PCB and increased reliability.

An automated optical inspection step during the manufacturing process ensures 100% controlled pin quality.

The connectors are compatible with existing versions.

All type R connectors are suitable for use with a simple coding mechanism that uses coding tabs. The RoHS-compliant through-hole reflow versions are built from a high temperature-resistant material that makes them suitable for reflow soldering.
