TE Connectivity 225677-E

PowerElements can be used essentially anywhere where you are dealing with "power" sourcing capabilities, namely high current on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Be it "Wire - to - Board" sourcing and distribution in PCB based high current applications, or assembly, component connection and fixation such as screw locking (e.g. midi or mega fuses), relays with screw connection, conductor rail etc. on the PCBs. To achieve this we also provide additional insulation bodies e.g. twist protection, to help avoid shorts and contact on the cable side of the connections such as cable lugs. Also mechanical challenges, such as the PCB connection inside a housing, in the interior or even with a second PCB can be realised using PowerElements. The two piece PowerElement offers a special feature - it is press fitted from both sides of the PCB. The bearing surface on either side helps provide protection to the PCB against mechanical stress during assembly in the installation space. Virtually, there are no limits to the variety of PowerElements connection options. Whether it is the headless screw, the thread nut as well as through holes or blind holes, whether perpendicular or angled, even the installation height, connection surface and thread or drill dimension can be selected and combined with essentially no restriction. PowerElements in press - fit technology and Surface - Moulded Device (SMD) solder technology are available for processing. SMD PowerElements are delivered blister packed for fully automated assembly.
