Fueling this rapid change is a combination of advances in technology. The control cabinets are getting smaller. This in turn reduces the available space for the devices and their boards. In addition, the functional density of devices is steadily increasing. Thus, PCB connectors must also be based on the new size specifications.<\/p>\n<h2>What we can offer<\/h2>\n<p>Phoenix Contact has launched two new 2.54 mm printed circuit board connectors: the FMC 0.5 and DFMC 0.5 connectors. It is designed to meet the miniature &amp; quick connection requirement, boasting a compact plastic housing and push-in spring connection. The direct connection is possible for solid and flexible conductors with or without wire end ferrules. The wiring can be easily released without the aid of a screwdriver and the connectors can hold conductors with cross sections from 0.14 to 0.5 mm\u00b2.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_2col\/pic_con2_sg_0022227_int.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"440\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 1. Low height profile &#8211; the FMC 0.5 connector family offers a push-in spring connection with spring opener.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This connector makes it ideal for designers who face the challenge of keeping up with the trend towards miniaturization.<\/p>\n<p>The FMC 0.5 connector is a single-row connector with a height of only 5.4 mm whereas the DFMC 0.5 connector is a double-row connector with a low height of only 10.5 mm. Plugs in the same grid with push-in spring connection and spring openers that were previously available on the market were twice as high. Both connectors follow the trend of miniaturization &#8211; and the associated trend towards a high contact density in a small space.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K0C_x4vATnI<\/p>\n<p>It is designed for automated soldering processes (SMD and THR soldering processes). The two product families\u2019 pin headers are made of LCP (liquid crystal polymer) plastic to withstand the high temperatures in the convection oven.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_sg_0022228_int.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"177\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The applications for the two new connectors are extremely versatile. Possible target groups include measurement and control technology, automation technology and energy technology. Conceivable applications include controllers and inverters. The focus of the application areas is on industrial applications where signals are transmitted to the PCB.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion &#8211; the answer to new market requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The new FMC 0.5 and DFMC 0.5 plug connectors and the associated pin headers from Phoenix Contact meet the market requirements in the field of printed circuit board connection technology. Device manufacturers now get powerful connectors that require little space on the circuit board and in the device. For the end customer, the connectors also provide a quick, easy and convenient connection option. Processing in highly automated SMD processes is not a problem, and a gold-plated contact system provides additional security for the transmission of signals in industrial environments.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like a sample board, or would like to know more, don\u2019t hesitate to contact us at marketing@phoenixcontact.com.sg!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content\/pic_con_sg_0022229_int.jpg\" width=\"896\" height=\"666\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small yet high-powered connectors Application specific and miniaturized connectors have come on rapidly.
