New RoHS-compliant programmable headers and covers by Aries Electronics eliminate the need for DIP switches
Aries Electronics, an international manufacturer of standard, programmed and custom interconnection products, now offers RoHS-compliant programmable headers and covers that eliminate the need for DIP switches in many situations.
The versatile Series 680 is available either pre-programmed from Aries Electronics or users can program the headers and covers themselves by using programming tools, such as Aries' T- 680, which offers on-the-spot programming.
These headers and covers, constructed of durable black UL 94V- 0 glass filled 4/6 Nylon, are available with either plain (solid) or top-slot press-on covers. The plain covers protect the programs while the top-slot covers allow programming of opposing pins through square openings on top.
The Series 680 features sturdy 3/4 hard brass alloy pins, as well as tin pin plating. The tin-plated headers and covers offer a 50-150m minimum matte tin per ASTM B545-97 over a 50m nickel plating per SAE-AMS-QQ- N-290.
With a current rating of 1 amp, the Series 680 has an operating temperature of 221ºF [105ºC]. In addition, the headers and covers can be easily mounted in a PCB hole size of 0.032, ±0.002in. [0.81, ±0.05mm] in diameter.
Pricing for 1,000 pieces of a 16 pin 680 type programmable header is $0.66 each, price for 1,000 pieces of a 16 pin header cover is $0.25 each. Lead time stock to two weeks.
