Hand crimpers, bench crimpers and crimp dies fitted to wire preparation equipment (Artos, Eubanks, etc.) are available to reduce your crimping costs.
Automatic-terminal-insertion equipment is available and the Molex-A-Matic Mark II will sequentially cut wire to length, strip, crimp and insert terminals into housings, eliminating all labor costs for crimping and inserting.
Single pinsetters and multi-pinsetters are available with pantograph and X-Y tables to insert square pins economically into your PC board. For large volume, high-pin density applications, Molex has a vibratory system, which will mass-insert all the pins in one PC board or an aggragate of boards in one load cycle. Average cycle time is two minutes and can insert in excess of 3,000 pins per cycle.
In addition to our standard products, Molex has other special products including LSI and IC sockets, transistor sockets and edge connectors.
New products which will be applicable to the electronic games industry are:
The 4706/4811 PC Terminal
The 4811-0 and 4811-1, 4706 and 4706-3 terminals are used to secure #16 through #26 AWG wire leads to a printed-circuit board prior to soldering and offers the following advantages:
Elimination of leads falling out of the printed-circuit board holes during component insertion and handling prior to soldering;
The terminal construction allows the actual wire lead to be soldered; and because the terminal fills the printed-circuit board hole, solder voiding is minimized;
Due to the low-insertion force, wires with crimped 4811, 4706 type terminals can be inserted into the printed-circuit boards at any time during assembly and prior to soldering without causing adjacent components to "pop" out of the printed-circuit board due to excessive board deflection;
After soldering, the insulation crimp creates an effective strain relief;
Need for pre-affixed eyelets or griplets on the printed-circuit board is eliminated;
Designed to fit into standard .049, .093 and .073 hole diameters in .062 ± .008 thick PC board.
