KYOCERA AVX unveils novel Hermaphroditic Wide Temperature Wire-to-Wire and Wire-to-Board Connectors
New KYOCERA AVX 9288-000 and 9289-000 Series Connectors Offer Reliable, Quick-Connect Solutions for Lighting and Industrial Applications
KYOCERA AVX, a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components, has announced the launch of the 9288-000 and 9289-000 Series hermaphroditic wire-to-wire (WTW) and wire-to-board (WTB) connectors. These innovative connectors are designed to provide ease of use, reliability, and flexibility for field installation, making them ideal for demanding industrial and lighting environments.
The 9288-000 Series connectors come with several key features:
- Hermaphroditic design: The WTW connectors use identical parts for both mating halves, simplifying the bill of materials (BOM) and reducing inventory complexity.
- Contact options: Available with 2 to 4 contacts on a 5mm pitch.
- Wire compatibility: Suitable for 16–18 AWG solid or stranded wire.
- Electrical ratings: Rated for 6A (18AWG) or 7A (16AWG), 600VAC RMS or DC equivalent.
- Durability and lifespan: Rated for 20 mating cycles and three wire replacement cycles.
- Temperature range: Operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.
- Safety and compliance: UL approved and RoHS compliant.
- Packaging: Available in tape and reel or bulk packaging.
- Easy termination: Uses KYOCERA AVX's field-proven poke-home contact technology that enables quick, tool-free, and easy in-field wire termination.
- Durable materials: Phosphor bronze contacts deliver excellent electrical and mechanical performance throughout the product lifecycle.
- Locking mechanism: Enhances connection reliability by securing the mated connectors.
The 9288-000 Series connectors are designed for lighting and industrial applications requiring reliable, quick-connect wire-to-wire or wire-to-board solutions.
The new 9289-000 Series connectors also offer the same benefits, with two identical mating halves, further simplifying BOMs.
These combined features emphasize ease of use, reliability, and flexibility for field installation, making the 9288-000 and 9289-000 Series suitable for demanding industrial and lighting environments.
