New patented IDC pin for magnet wire allows up to 80% cost savings

SM Contact offers the state-of-the-art solution for electromagnetic coil manufacturers.

Patented solution with P-in pin connector to reduce the cost of magnet wire connections through increased throughput

The P-in compliant feature defines the simplest technology for IDC connector for magnet wire. It breaks the enamel layer when being inserted vertically.	P-type pin cross-section with serrations
Magnet wire must be located in a simple dedicated groove in the plastic housing, similar to the classic approach.
Electrical connection stability is reached by deformable spring-load (Press-fit like) geometry. “Pushing” against the plastic housing, it creates a tight contact between the pin and the conductive core of the magnet wire.	IDC pin stamping with: — spring element, Press-fit type — serrations on the coil wire side

IEC 60352-5 certified SM Contact Press-fit technology for plated PCB holes offers the possibility to connect our terminals with PCBs as well.

Various Press-fit sizes are available.

Press-fit stamping on the P-type IDC pin is an option. A similar connection to the printed circuit board can be made with soldering.

Continuous wire technology – alternative to stamped terminals

Pins are fed into the Pininsert machine from plastic reels mounted on unreelers. Each reel contains between 30 000 and 200 000 pins of the specified configuration, lined up end-to-end. They are winded onto the reel as a continuous wire. This is the optimal format for SM Contact technology with automatic pin insertion.

During the pin manufacturing, notches are made on the wire corresponding to the required pin length. These are the points where they are cut during insertion in the components. Chamfers on both ends of the pin also ensure accuracy and speed of installation.

Тип штамповки определяется необходимостью применения пайки и установки катушки на печатную плату.

Pins supplied end-to-end in reels are an excellent alternative to stamped terminals:

— no need of mold

— flexible technology

— up to 80% discount
