TE Connectivity Micro-MaTch Paddle Board ConnectorsMicro-MaTch Paddle Board or IDC transition connectors for use in wire to board interconnections. These Micro-MaTch paddle board connectors enable ribbon cable to be connected directly to the PCB without the need for a mating connector. The PCB paddle board connector features IDC contacts eliminating the need for wire preparation. The Micro-MaTch range of connectors have a compact, space saving design. The female contacts have a contact spring system that prevents fretting corrosion. A positioning spring absorbs movement between the male and female contacts caused by vibration and thermal expansion. Prevention of movement on the contact spot enables a gas tight connection to be made which makes the contact spring system fretting resistant. These Micro-MaTch paddle board IDC connectors feature a kinked leg design for secure retention to the PCB and board stand offs.Features and Benefits• Compact, space saving design• Allows direct connection of cable to PCB• Fully tin plated IDC contacts• Fretting corrosion resistant• Gas tight connection• Kinked legs for secure retention• Board stand offsApplicationsThese Micro-MaTch connectors are designed for use in a wide range of applications.
