These vertical poke-home connectors provide a reliable, yet cost effective discrete wire-to-board termination in perpendicular applications. These were designed to bridge the gap between inconsistent and challenging hand soldering of wires and costly 2-piece connector systems in low pin count applications. The 9296 Series connectors were developed specifically to support 18 to 22AWG solid or stranded wire terminations used in power supply, LED driver and industrial control products where PCB space is limited. This new 9296 connector offers a robust single beam contact which securely captures and retains the wire in a 23% smaller package size over previous versions.
