Fine Wire Connectors Technology Overview

  
The reliability of the connector assures wire retention and eliminates the need to solder wires directly to the PCB.
 
Zierick’s Fine Wire Connectors can efficiently terminate a number of wires all at once.
 
The piercing blades accommodate solid, stranded or tinsel wire, and are designed to maintain a continuous force on each wire.
 
Zierick offers its newest insulation piercing connector — the SMT Fine Wire Connector. This connector offers a cost-efficient, reliable solution for solid, stranded or tinsel wire terminations. By allowing reliable one-step multiple wire termination within a plastic housing, the connector reduces assembly costs and provides a more durable wire connection.

Design
Zierick’s Fine Wire Connector design builds on Insulation Piercing Connector (IPC) technology, which is the ideal method for wire termination. IPC technology allows multiple wires to be terminated simultaneously without being stripped first.

This fine wire IPC connector features a unique design of four wire housing holes and four individual piercing blades that can accommodate solid, stranded or tinsel wire. The piercing blades are made to go in one direction only, and maintain a continuous force on each wire. Its durable plastic housing provides excellent wire retention.

Assembly Process
First, these IPC connectors are surface mounted to the PCB. After reflow, the insulated wires are inserted into the holes of the housing. Force is then applied to the top of the plastic housing and the piercing blades cut through the insulation and penetrate into the wire core—completing the wire connection process.

Benefits
Zierick’s SMT Fine Wire Connector:

Saves you labor time and costs.
  • Eliminates the need to solder wires to the PCB
  • Allows for the efficient termination of multiple wires at the same time
Gives you a higher quality termination.
  • Maintains consistent pressure on the wires for better conductor contact
  • Provides superior retention to the board
Provides a more cost-efficient solution.
  • Uses minimal PCB real estate
  • Offers the least expensive method for wire termination
