ARINC 600 Press-Fit Power
and Quadrax Contacts
Eliminate Soldering, Reduce Weight Up to 10%
To simplify application and help lower costs, we were the first to offer size 22
contacts in a press-fit PCB attachment style. The addition of press-fit size 20,
16 and 12 power contacts, as well as press-fit Quadrax contacts to our
ARINC 600 product portfolio, enable us to offer you a total press-fit
PCB-attach connector solution.
ARINC 600 press-fit power and Quadrax receptacle contacts allow a complete
press-fit receptacle solution that will provide manufacturing cost savings by
eliminating the PCB soldering process. They also enable up to 10% weight
savings (depending on insert arrangement) and backward compatibility, while
WEIGHT-SAVING DESIGN
delivering the high levels of performance and reliability you need.
• Up to 10% lighter than equivalent
standard receptacles (depending on
insert arrangement)
For Applied Cost Savings during Board Assembly
