2.54 mm Connectors
MaxiBridge - CABLE
CONNECTOR SYSTEM
The 2.54 mm single and dual row cable connector system is excellently suitable for reliable and
space saving connections between Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and decentral units, e.g. lamps or
info panels, front plate elements like buttons, switches or LEDs, motors, fans etc. The cable system
can be used in different applications, for example: automotive, industrial, medical or even lighting
technology. Thanks to the availability of vertical and right angle male connectors and female connectors
with 180° cable outlet the system can be used in a versatile manner. Emphasis is put on flexibility
of the usable cable sizes. Thus the required current rating can be adjusted over a wide range.
The vertical and right angle male connectors provide Surface Mount Technology (SMT) terminals and the female
connector has contact cavities according to the crimp contacts. The plastic material used is suitable for leadfree reflow soldering. Tape and reel packaging and pick and place pad for automatic assembly is a standard.
The crimp contacts are secured twice and reach high retention forces. For each pin number, there are
four mechanical and different colored coding versions with high blocking forces against mismating
available. Cable and male connector have a locking system on both sides, which helps prevent the contact
from loosening due to vibration. The robust interlocking can be manually released without tools.

FEATURES
Housing Guide
• The rugged insulation body of the male connector
provides an highly reliable cable connector guide.
Locating Pegs
• Two pegs (round and oval) provides exact
positioning on the PCB. In addition, they enable
a compensation of the PCB hole tolerances.
Easy Assembly
• Pick-and-place cover for automatic assembly of the
vertical male connectors with a vacuum pipette.
Robust Solder Clips
• Reliable retention force on the PCB due to
ruggedized solder clips. In addition, they
serve as an integrated strain relief.

FEATURES
Locking for Housing
• The robust locking system with latches on both sides can be
manually released without tools and resist high vibrations.
During the locking process, there is an audible latching.
Contact Locking
• Primary and secondary locking of the crimp
contact inside the connector housing.
Coding
• Four different colored codings per pin number.
With high blocking forces against mismating.
SSL-Lighting Technology
• Connectors with colorless insulation bodies help
prevent shadow formation in lighting applications,
e.g. LED strips with transparent diffusion disks.
Thus providing uniform light distribution.

The permissible operating voltages depend on the customer application
and on the applicable or specified safety requirements. Insulation coordination according to IEC 60664-1 has to be regarded for the complete
electrical device. Therefore, the maximum creepage and clearance distances of the mated connectors are specified for consideration as a part
of the whole current path. In practice, reductions in creepage or clearance distances may occur due to the conductive pattern of the printed
board or the wiring used, and have to be taken into account separately.
As a result the creepage and clearance distances for the application may
be reduced compared to those of the connector.
