Schalksmühle, 8.1.2014. Lumberg, as a specialist for RAST technology or plug-in connectors, is once again expanding its largest product segment in the market by several RAST connectors with a 5 mm pitch in the “Power” category. Suitable for load currents of up to 6 amps (TAmp 70° C), the new V03s for 3570, 3575 and 357099 connectors with 2 to 8 poles – in addition to the current versions with silver contact springs – are now also available with tin-plated contact springs.

With the proven insulation displacement technology the 3570 and 357099 connectors are designed for direct and indirect mating. The direct-mating 3575 offers keying ribs or closed sides as additional keying options, optionally either with or without lock on the printed circuit board. The 357099 is genuinely special due to its dual-row keying – the first dual-row as such in the RAST 2.5 family on the market.

Suitable for individual conductors with a cross section between 0.5 and 0.75 mm2, IDT-compatible in temperatures ranging between -40 and +120 degree Celsius and with a rated voltage of 400 Volt the direct connectors mating with the PCB boast a diverse and space-saving breadth of applications. Next to guide frames Lumberg also offers a variety of RAST 2.5 pin headers for indirect mating. Since all new connectors are made for a diverse range of applications they can be used for everything from small to large production series to fulfill the individual applications. The new V03s, just like the silver-plated contact springs, are glow wire resistant and UL- as well as VDE-certified.
