The surface-mount connectors feature natural LCP insulators and are available in one, two, or three-contact size options. The BL300, with a 2.4 mm pitch, accepts 20-24 AWG wire up to 22 AWG. The two-position connector has a footprint of only 5.20 mm x 7.90 mm with a height above the PCB of 3.60 mm.
The BJ302 products with a 4.00 mm pitch accept 20-22 AWG conductors or 18-24 AWG solid conductors. The current rating for 18 AWG is 8 A. The footprint for a two-position connector is 7.45 mm x 11.80 mm with a height above the PCB of 4.50 mm.
Ease of use is paramount for push-in connectors; the stripped wire can be inserted and terminates directly in the contacts with a simple motion. To remove the wires, a sliding button is pressed. GCT's detailed product specifications contain all the technical details, including suitable wire types for push-in connectors, wire stripping instructions, and preparation recommendations.
Schematics, product specifications, and 3D models for both parts can be found at www.gct.co. Samples are available the next day from any GCT location worldwide.
