Evolution meets Revolution: Reversible Arbitrary Direct Mating with the PCB in IDT
Evolution meets revolution: While the direct connector mating on the edge of a printed circuit board is one of our focal domains, we are now introducing a new category of connectors that eclipses them all: The direct connector for arbitrary mating on the printed circuit board. With a multiple plug-in and plug-out option, soldering is no longer required. And it comes of course with Insulation Displacement Technology.
SKEDD makes this possible. The individual contact comprises two symmetrical contact tongues which, when inserted into a plated-through hole in the PCB, retract. The contact pressure forces from the two tongues then create a steadfast mechanicalelectrical connection inside the hole – no need for soldering.
Connectors can mate and lock without having to use tools, for total convenience when mounting entire sub-assemblies. This empowers completely new designs since the connectors can mate right in the center of a printed circuit board. Or even on the reverse.
Here, reversible mating also facilitates for the first time the simple exchange of components, as is required, for example, during servicing.
In combination with Insulation Displacement Technology, which draws on all advantages offered by automated cable assembly and vouches for the efficient production of large quantities, our unparalleled solution that literally centers
your ideas on the PCB is really smart – or simply: SmartSKEDD.
