OVERVIEW

The innovative PV® crimp-to-wire system connects discrete

wire to printed circuit boards. High reliability dual-metal

receptacle terminals plug to industry standard 0.025

inch (0.635mm) square posts. A variety of containment,

protection and guidance options are available for both sides

of the connector interface.

Wire side- PV® receptacle terminals can be terminated to

wire and used discretely or inserted to multiple-circuit,

MINI-LATCH connector housings that include optional

polarizing keys.

Printed Circuit side- Shrouded multiple-post, headers

include an integral friction feature that grips the sides of

the mating MINI-LATCH housings and reduces the risk of

disengagement. Other FCI header options include discrete

staked pins or BergStik® un-shrouded headers

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Unique dual-metal PV® receptacle contact maintains

contact pressure through 1000 mating cycles. A beryllium

copper spring provides high normal force at the mating

interface, while the brass contact body produces a

reliable, gas-tight crimp termination

• Choice of three different spring pressures allows the

user to customize insertion and withdrawal forces to

individual application requirements

• Shrouded header side walls engage with the sides of

the MINI-LATCH housing to provide additional retention

• MINI-LATCH housing firmly retains PV® wire contacts

• Available in single or double row configurations

• Keyed MINI-LATCH housings and header keyways

provide polarization to prevent mis-mating

• Two wall header design provides mechanical benefits

plus economy

• Application tooling is supported by FCI
