Screw connection with tension sleeve

The screw connection is maintenance-free and, with the multi-conductor connection, provides a high level of flexibility and a high load-carrying capacity. Connections with a wire guard are particularly well-suited for semi-industrial applications in building automation, safety technology, and telecommunications. With connections via tension sleeve, you can ideally connect industrial applications with high standards of contact reliability. The front screw connection is suitable for narrow device fronts and PCB racks.

Wave soldering is the classic soldering process for manufacturing electronic modules that are predominantly assembled with through-hole components. The soldering contact inserted through the PCB and the soldering on the bottom of the PCB are characteristic of this soldering process.

All mounting and soldering processes at a glance
Example illustration of surface mount technology

Surface mount technology (SMT) is used for surface mounting components. The components are assembled in soldering paste on the surface of the PCB and soldered in the reflow soldering process. This method requires special components with corresponding surface contacts.

Example illustration of through-hole reflow soldering

Through-hole reflow soldering (THR) enables the integration of through-hole components made from high-temperature material into the SMT reflow process. During this process, the push-through contacts are assembled in the bore holes filled with soldering paste and soldered in the reflow soldering process.
