Receptacles Technology Overview

  
Surface Mount Box Receptacles provide placement flexibility to suit a variety of applications.
 
 
Zierick's versatile Universal Tab Receptacles and SMT clips are all designed for maximum durability and stability.
 
 
Zierick’s family of SMT receptacles provides a range of options designed to lower manufacturing costs, simplify assembly, and increase productivity. In addition to Standard Receptacles, Zierick recently expanded its product line with Surface Mount Box Receptacles, increasing your options for flexibility and compatibility.

Standard Surface Mount Receptacles
  • The 1237 top-entry Universal Tab Receptacle
  • The 1238 bottom-entry Universal Tab Receptacle
Both Standard Receptacles accommodate a mating terminal size of 0.025" (0.64mm) to 0.032" (0.81mm) thickness. The receptacles will tolerate a lateral misalignment of ±0.012" (0.30mm), and an angular misalignment of ±10°. Constructed of brass, the receptacles have a material thickness of 0.016" (0.41mm) and have a standard finish of 100% tin over copper.

Surface Mount Box Receptacles
  • The 1266, which accepts top-entry or an alternative bottom-entry to mate with a through-board pin
  • The 1277 accepts top or bottom entry, and can be placed in either vertical or horizontal position
  • The 1262, which offers traditional placement, and can be placed upside-down for bottom-entry. A special version of this terminal can be used in a wire gripper application to grip and hold a 14 AWG wire.
The flexibility of these receptacles provides a number of important benefits in addition to placement and entry options. A small footprint and low insertion force ensure efficiency of use. Twelve or more available mating cycles increase productivity in demanding environments. Continuous reel production eliminates time-consuming hand placement and expensive fixturing by utilizing the Surf-Shooter SMT Feeder and existing placement systems. Zierick’s innovative surface mount technology ensures reliable mounting on all of our receptacles.

Surface Mount Clips

Zierick’s SMT Receptacle family of products also includes SMT Clips—A versatile line of receptacles with Surf-Shooter SMT continuous strip compatibility. The Snap-In Fuse Clip employs a spring-loaded mounting leg, and is proven to display increased retention, strength, and durability while withstanding side loading and rough PCB handling. Both Snap-In and Standard Fuse Clips are available in loose-piece format—with or without integral fuse stops—for 1/4" (6.35mm) and 0.197" (5mm) cylindrical fuse styles.
