KYOCERA AVX expands the 9155-800 battery connector series

With the expansion of the 9155-800 series, KYOCERA AVX now offers many more battery connectors for a wide range of applications from industrial to medical and consumer electronics.

We are pleased to present the new connectors with their vertical plug-in connection and 2.0 mm pitch from our long-standing manufacturing partner KYOCERA AVX. The components are now available with two to eight positions. This and their outstanding other properties make them suitable for a very wide range of signal and current capabilities. They also enable error-free mating and proven high performance - even in particularly adverse industrial, medical and consumer electronics applications.

New seven and eight position models

As the world's leading manufacturer of electronic components, KYOCERA AVX is constantly helping to accelerate technological innovation. The robust and very user-friendly 9155-800 series battery connectors have been designed with this in mind. They have a vertical connection and a 2.0 mm pitch. The series has recently been expanded to include new models with seven and eight positions. The reason for this was the increased customer demand for higher signal and current capabilities.

Strong contact geometry with these battery connectors

Users will particularly appreciate the unique contact geometry. This deforms cleanly when a module, mating connector or PCB is pushed vertically into the correct position. This enables complete, vertical engagement in pluggable modules without the risk of contact damage.

This is where the electronic component has decisive advantages, because with conventional battery connectors the user has to engage the contacts before turning the mating module or the circuit board into the correct position in order to reliably prevent contact damage. This is not necessary with the new 9155-800 series from our long-standing GUDECO partner KYOCERA AVX. Instead, these connectors can be plugged in from any angle.

Fruther product advantages at a glance

• Extremely forgiving design of the bar contacts
  
• anti-snag function that reliably protects the contacts from damage during deflection and also in a static state
  
• Extremely robust and reliable gold-plated contacts made of beryllium copper (BeCu), which offer outstanding electrical and mechanical performance for more than 5,000 mating cycles
  
• Plastic receptacles and SMT anchoring tabs that maximize the mechanical stability of the connector in high shock and vibration environments
  
• Compatible with both signal and power circuits
  
• New, expanded pin count (now from two to eight positions) enables a wider range of signal and power capabilities
  
• Flame retardant (UL94 V-0) black glass-filled nylon 46 insulators
  
• BeCu contacts with selective gold-over-nickel plating of either 0.4 µm or 0.8 µm
  
• pure tin terminals
  
• rated for 125VAC or DC equivalent, 1.5A or 2A, depending on the number of positions (five to eight or two to four) and operating temperatures from -40°C to +125°C
  
• RoHS compliant
