PCB connection technology for building automation - COMBICON compact

COMBICON compact comprises PCB connection technology for virtually all devices used in building automation and telecommunications.

Mini PCB terminal block with insulation displacement connection


The two-pos. mini PTQ PCB terminal block has been developed specifically for THR soldering processes.

The terminal block is taped as standard and optimally adapted for automatic PCB assembly. Further blocks can be aligned during the assembly process.

With a design height of just 8 mm and width of 7 mm, this two-pos. PCB terminal block is particularly well-suited to applications where space is critical.

New areas of application require innovative connection methods. In particular, there is a demand for space-saving connection solutions in the growing LED market.

With a design height of just 5 mm, the PTSM series includes PCB terminal blocks and connectors with a user-friendly spring-cage connection. Connectors are also available with pierce contact technology as an alternative.

Despite the low design height, conductors up to 0.75 mm² can be easily connected. The new range of terminal blocks has been developed for automated PCB assembly and is particularly suitable for SMT and THR soldering processes.




PCB connection technology with spring-cage connection


The product range includes PCB terminal blocks and connectors with 2.5 mm to 5.0 mm pitch with direct plug-in method. Here you can choose from single or double connections, which enable signals to be looped through.

The space-saving spring-cage PCB terminal block PTS is new. It excels through a high comfort of operation and a rapid conductor connection using the direct plug-in method.

PCB terminal blocks and connectors in the PT range offer an outstanding terminal block capacity in a compact design. Here, highly flexible conductor protection ensures that connection is extremely easy.

New: The PT 2,5 plug-in system with up to five plug-in directions and unrivaled flexibility. The patented keying solution simultaneously protects four plug-in directions. All terminal blocks in the COMBICON compact series support individual labeling and are available in a range of color versions.




Reflow solderable pin strips


The matching pin strips for plug-in versions are made from high-temperature resistant material and can therefore also be used in the reflow soldering process (THR). A taped version for use on automatic machines is available on request.

Optional color-coding in many standard colors ensures error-free installation of the devices to be connected.
