NICOMATIC is pleased to present its SMT latch for CMM 100 and CMM 200 series female connectors. It completes the existing range of friction and straight SMT latches already available in the range. 
The SMD latch is generally used in board-to-wire interconnection systems where a connector is fixed to female housings on cable.
The SMD latch is aimed to medical, military, nuclear
and industrial applications whose main specifications are extremely
demanding in terms of mechanical, climatic and chemical resistance (eg.
resistance to solvents and radiations).
The product, made of
Beryllium alloy over Nickel 3µ, is applicable to 1 and 2 row connectors
with low frequency contacts, 90° SMT (R type contacts). Typical
Nicomatic part numbers are 101RnnLS (from 2 to 25 LF contacts) and
201RnnLS (from 4 to 50 LF contacts).
The Nicomatic SMT latch leads to substantial production cost reduction on electronic modules as it is no longer necessary to use the strain relief strap and thus to pierce PCB wholes. The latch allows a high quality mechanical locking system and PCB soldering at the vapour phase. Tape & Reel packaging is made possible.
