The new SDC 2.5 connector system with SKEDD plug-in technology is the latest innovation from Phoenix Contact. This product will set a new standard for PCB connection technology as it assures direct contact between the connector and the PCB and eliminates the need for a plug-and-header combination. These new connectors combine three characteristics in one product:
- Direct plug-in technology to the PCB
- Wire connections with push-in spring termination
- Tool-free installation
The contact zone is made up of two flexible halves that bend easily, enabling the contacts to easily adjust to plated-through holes on a printed circuit board. Upon
insertion, the contact has sufficient force to establish a gas-tight connection with no special requirements for the PCB. No tools are needed to connect to the PCB. To ensure a stable mechanical connection to the board, the side of each connector has locking pins that expand with a simple push of the orange locking tabs.
