- picoMAX®: The Pluggable Connection System
Advantages:
- Compact design: Reduces space by up to 30%
- Radically simplified contact system
- The special design, innovative spring pressure connection technology and new insulation material guarantee absolute contact reliability – even at higher surrounding ambient temperatures
- Exceptionally high vibration resistance of up to 20g for wire-to-board connections, thanks to integrated locking latches and a female connector that’s almost fully enshrouded in the male header.
- Efficient testing via test slot parallel to connector entry
picoMAX® – Tak-Çıkar Bağlantı Sistemi
picoMAX® is the compact pluggable connection system with a highly innovative design. It makes dual use of the contact force from a single Cr-Ni stainless steel spring to clamp the conductor and connect the header pin. This makes picoMAX® even more compact than other pluggable connection system systems and sets new standards for wire-to-board, board-to-wire, wire-to-wire and panel feedthrough connections.
