Solderless and direct plug-in connectors save space

Würth Elektronik eiSos has a new “REDFIT IDC SKEDD WR-WST connectors” product family offering solderless, space-saving and multi-pluggable connectors for signal transmission. The manufacturer is utilizing the patented SKEDD technology from its sister company for this innovative product. The connector is available in four to 20-pin versions and is ideal for permanent use on PCBs as well as for temporary connections for programming and debugging purposes. The product is a solderless reversible direct plug-in connector with SKEDD technology. It can be manually mounted on the plated-through holes of the PCB, which removes the requirement for extra sockets and any related soldering processes. The device also needs no mating plug, therefore, saving on yet another component and reducing assembly and process costs.
