Amphenol Pcd HIGH DENSITY PLUGGABLE HEADERS

(Peabody, MA) - March 14, 2003 - Amphenol Pcd Inc. has introduced a line of two-tier .150 " spacing, high density, high temperature pluggable headers for industrial controls I/O applications as an addition to its pluggable terminal block product family.

The ELVA headers will accept two plugs in a vertical or horizontal configuration. Top and bottom rows are stacked directly above each other in the same vertical plane, providing for a squared configuration which - combined with solid end walls and optional mounting screws - is well suited for rack and panel style equipment I/O applications.

The SMT compatible glass-filled polyamide ELVA will withstand 260 ºC for three minutes, allowing users to reduce Amphenol Pcd assembly costs by combining through-hole and SMT solder operations.

Headers mate with Amphenol Pcd .150" ELV screw terminal and SCV wire termination plugs, including the new ELVF and SCVF "front entry" plugs which allow both wire entry and termination actuation from the front of the plug, facilitating access and installation.

ELVA headers are available in 2 through 20 double row positions, for a maximum of 40 positions, in black or green molded polyamide, UL94V-0, and with optional marking
