Interface Pin Blocks

Battery-charging contacts by PTR or even interface contacts create an electrical contact between two components. They are used wherever it is necessary to charge the rechargeable batteries in mobile devices such as scanners, card readers, communication equipment, etc.
The special design of the test probes which are used here adapts perfectly to an extremely wide range of contact situations. The probes guarantee a clean connection on almost all surfaces, including with ambient conditions in which oscillations and vibrations could affect the contacting. Irrespective of the specified installation height of the interface pin blocks, the test probes compensate for unevenness and differing heights on the contact surfaces. These features ensure a perfect and safe electrical contact. When positioned in the right place and used correctly, the interface pin blocks can achieve up to 1 million contact cycles.
Typical applications for the interface blocks include internal battery connections in mobile devices, or external connections needed for charging, for example in docking stations. They can be used for the secure connection of two PCBs which, by means of flexible contacting technology, can be connected and disconnected as often as required. This especially flexible connection of the interface pin blocks requires only a contact surface which is larger than the diameter of the probe head, so it offers considerable advantages when compared with connectors, which always require a precise connection. Additional arguments in favor of the use of interface pin blocks include the absence of insertion and withdrawal forces, and minimal wear and tear.

  1. 24.02.2023 - A good connection: The PCB terminal blocks from PTR

    The application areas of PTR HARTMANN's PCB terminal blocks and PCB connectors are extremely diverse. From automation technology, safety technology and telecommunications to building automation, the products can be used.

    PCB terminals are divided into two groups, screw terminals and spring-cage terminals, and at PTR HARTMANN include metric and imperial pitch dimensions from 2.5 mm up to 12.24 mm.

    Different connection principles - e.g. the lift principle used for connections that need to be released frequently to the time-saving and innovative push-in technology - the VDE and cURus certified product portfolio covers all requirements.

    Special designs of PCB terminal blocks and PCB connectors, such as special lengths for solder pins, different colors, partially assembled PCB terminal blocks, marking with pad printing, inkjet printing or laser marking, are part of the range. The delivery of PCB terminal blocks and pin headers in blister tapes, tubes or on trays is possible also.

    An overview of the available series as well as detailed technical specifications can be found in our online store.

  2. 26.11.2020 - AK136 series PCB Multi-Connector for safety applications

     

    With the AK136 series, PTR HARTMANN GmbH offers a PCB multi-connector with 5.0 mm spacing which can be inserted from above – this makes it especially suitable for installation in housings.

    The locking guides on the underside allow the AK136 to be fixed in the housing base, and the matching STL136 pin strip is fitted on the PCB in the upper housing part. In safety applications, this allows the power supply to the device to be interrupted when the housing cover is opened.

    With its wire protection system, the AK136 clamps solid wires up to 2.5 mm², and stranded wires, with or without a ferrule, up to 1.5 mm². In the standard version (wave soldering), the STL136 pin strip is available as a high temperature variant for THR solutions (as PU and Tape-on-Reel) and also as an SMD variant, Tape-on-Reel, in different pin lengths.

    You will find these and other products from PTR HARTMANN GmbH in our internet store.

  3. 08.05.2020 - PTR interface blocks

    Compared to a conventional PCB connector, an interface block as a connecting element has the advantage of a more flexible application and its possible uses are manifold. Starting with board-to-board contacts, directly on the PCB, via hand-held devices, as charging contacts, up to chargers for high-quality laptops, smart phones and e-bikes and a multitude of other applications - everywhere Battery Probes or contacts called Spring Loaded Pogo Pins are used for the transmission of battery charging currents, but also for the transmission of signals.

    The contacts in the plastic block are ideally suited to compensate for differences in height and allow a large tolerance range when contacting the counter contact. The interface blocks thus have a large positioning tolerance and compensate for installation tolerances between the components to be connected.

    In addition to the SMD variant, PTR HARTMANN also offers THR and soldering variants. These allow a high degree of individual designs and applications.

    Spring contacts and other products from PTR Hartmann can be found in our internet shop.
