Wide scope of applications in pitch 3.81 mm

For the efficient wiring of complex electronic equipment and associated devices, it is crucial for device manufacturer to have connecting systems that offer flexibility, reliability, and high-performance. All this and more is fulfilled Weidmüller’s PCB plug-in connector system OMNIMATE SIGNAL 3.81.

OMNIMATE stands for a range of products and services including device connection and housing technologies that offers custom-fit solutions for all applications around the PCB. This premise is fulfilled, among others, by the plug-in connector system OMNIMATE SIGNAL 3.81.

An enormous product range and high performance reserves serve as the basis for the wide scope of applications which Weidmüller is covering with its plug-in connectors for pitch 3.81 mm (0.15 inch).

Ranging from the development over the fabrication to operation and maintenance, the system convinces with many beneficial details:

With 17.5 A instead of 8 A, the connectors feature more than twice the current-carrying capacity possible with previous standards. That means 100 % more energy without derating at ambient temperatures up to 65 °C and with derating up to a maximum of 120 °C.

Tool-free connection – intuitive disconnection

The PUSH IN spring connection method enables a direct wiring with no tools required – simply plug in the prepared conductors and it’s ready to go! An intuitive disconnection is made possible thanks to the large easy-to-use buttons.

Minimum height – maximum cross-section

Though the components are very compact, 1.5 mm² wires together with conductor sleeve and plastic shroud can be connected without any difficulties.

Comfortable locking – gentle release

The patent-registered release bars are easy to use and enable a comfortable locking and gentle release. The locking is clearly noticable what is especially beneficial in non-visible areas.

Code in advance – process universally

The coding keys made of high-quality LCP are reflow compatible and can be mounted even prior to soldering, e.g. directly ex works. Thanks to this consistent process, problems like deforming or losing of the coding keys are succesfully avoided.

Efficient mounting – process-secure soldering

The connectors are dimensionally stable during all soldering processes and do not need to be dried before processing. Through the LCP high-temperature material, there are temperature reserves in the solder profile and during operation. A two-sided SMD assembly is possible through the short pins. The solder flange fixes the header without an additional screw connection being necessary.

Inverted versions offer maximum freedom of scope, covering all four application types between wire and board:
