Design engineers are under increasing pressure to fit more and more functionality into electronic devices and at the same time make them smaller and simpler to build. An impossible task you would think, but help is now at hand from Phoenix Contact when considering device connectivity with the new expanded press fit connector range.
Pitch and cable size are often fixed due to electrical requirements but location and assembly considerations have a new innovative solution. The innovative SDC 2.5 and SDDC 1.5 connectors from Phoenix Contact with SKEDD direct plug-in technology now brings even more choice to design engineers struggling with device connectivity.
With the relentless drive for devices to get smaller and have increased functionality, Phoenix Contact identified a need for a new style of PCB connector which offers all the benefits of a traditional plug and header combination but without the restrictions placed on it by traditional production methods. The SDC 2.5 and new SDDC 1.5 connectors from Phoenix Contact offers such a solution by merging press-fit headers with push-in spring conductor connection technology.
The single row SDC 2.5 and SDDC 1.5 series use SKEDD direct plug-in technology for a reliable contact to the PCB combined with conductor connections with push-in spring connection technology. The SDC 2.5 is designed on a pitch of 5.00mm with cable cross sections up to 2.5mm2 and is capable of carrying up to 12 amps with a voltage rating of 320V, the new double row SDDC 1.5 is designed on a pitch of 3.50mm with cable cross sections up to 1.5mm2 and is capable of carrying up to 8 amps with a voltage rating of 160V. The SDC series is available in 1 to 16 ways and the SDDC series is available in 2 to 32 ways making both series versatile solutions for many applications.
The SKEDD direct plug-in technology is extremely reliable (more so than soldering) and the contacts are qualified for PCB's with HAL (Hot Air Levelling) surface finishes.

There are several advantages with the SDC 2.5 and SDDC 1.5 series, the most obvious being the one piece assembly. No header means one less component to fit during the automated assembly and they can also be pre-wired (if needed) ready for final assembly following the soldering process for other components on the PCB. As the connector does not go through the soldering process it can be located more conveniently without worrying about its impact on other components during soldering and visual inspection.
