TE Connectivity D-2970 Dynamic Wire-to-Board PCB Connectors

TE Connectivity D-2970 Dynamic Series PCB Connectors feature a compact 5mm-pitch design for wire-to-board connections. These connectors boast field-installable push-in clamp terminations that significantly reduce mating time by up to 90%, eliminating the need for tools thanks to the convenient push-in clamp and center-locking lever. The PCB connectors have audible and tactile feedback during mating, ensuring a secure connection, and have a lower insertion force to allow for the safe release of wires without risking fingertip injuries.

D-2970 Dynamic Series PCB Connectors are available in three or four-position configurations and offer flexibility with three angled male headers, all of which mate with the same female plug. These connectors are designed to withstand shock and vibration in industrial machinery, automation and control, and building automation applications.

Features

  • 50% lower insertion allows for toolless release
  • Available with three different angled male headers
  • Compliant with UL and IEC regulations, tested at UL and VDE certified

I can’t offer you a two for the price of one, but I can offer you something even better: do ten in the time it takes to do one.  TE Connectivity’s D-2970 Dynamic Series wire-to-board connectors feature field-installable push-in clamp terminations and a single-hand-operating center-locking lever that reduce installation time by 90 percent and require no tooling.  So, you can finish your installation faster and come back to see me for more from TE.  The D-2970 are 5 millimeter pitch connectors are rated for up to 24 amps and 400 volts, with contacts that are resistant to shock and vibration.  The center latch produces audible and tactile feedback while also saving space on the PCB compared to side-locking connectors and allowing for side-stackable PCB mounting of several headers.  The D-2970 also features an IP20 finger-proof design to prevent contact with live components plus a toolless wire release to keep users from gouging their fingers just to get a wire out.
