Sabritec Offers Filter Connectors with Integrated Dual Flange
A dual flange can be incorporated into the connector design in order to ease final assembly and reduce system build. This enables the PCB or Flex Circuit to be soldered or fixed directly to the PC Tails protruding from the rear of the connector, after having been quickly and reliably ‘mechanically fixed’ by the use of self locking helicoils incorporated into the flange itself. Wash slots machined in the flange enable superior soldered joints to be achieved as a result of the void created, which allows even heat transfer during soldering. Subsequent cleaning processes being undertaken are also improved as a result of the same void, ensuring that no damaging flux residue remains in place.
Incorporation of this feature further acts as a rigid and mechanically strong standoff for the PCB, providing a solid datum point internally thus reducing any force experienced by the rear PC tails. Location of heavy PCB’s can be easily tolerated with no damage to the connector experienced throughout its service life. The final assembly stage can also be taken a step further with self-locking clinch nuts fixed to the front flange, resulting in faster assembly to the bulkhead and removing the need to purchase additional assembly components. These features can be accommodated in virtually all filter connector variants and enable the true system cost to be reduced for the user.
Sabritec is able to offer lead free filter connector solutions upon request.
