Direct Integration on PCBs: Compact WINSTA®MINI Pluggable Connectors

Previously, the housings of devices for building technology had to be customized to fit pluggable connectors (e.g., with snap-in connectors), while wiring was performed manually.

Now, the new WINSTA^® MINI Pluggable PCB Connectors can be directly soldered to the PCB, significantly streamlining and economizing the process.

WINSTA^® connects all of the electrical components of a building: The pluggable connection system forms the electrical interface from power supply and distribution to electrical loads, also including data processing.

The extremely low-profile connectors feature a nominal current of 16 A and a pole pitch of 4.4 mm and are available for rated voltages up to 250 V and 400 V. Straight and angled versions of the plugs and sockets are available, opening up new possibilities for providing a wide range of versatile functions as pluggable solutions in buildings.

Even more impressive for the new WINSTA^®MINI modules is their inherent safety that is ensured by three mechanical coding options. A-coded connectors in black and white are ideal for 230 V systems. Coding B (gray, light green and pink) for customized pole markings can be printed at the factory to suit customer requirements. I-coded connectors in blue are designed for dimming lights (e.g., DALI lights).
