Würth Elektronik ICS will present the first ever pluggable Powerelements for SMT assembly in its Powerelements range, PowerBasket SMD. They will perfectly complement existing PowerBasket High Current Contacts, which are available in THT and press-fit versions. Products in the PowerBasket SMD series are lead-free and RoHS-compliant. They can be processed on conventional SMT lines and soldered using a convection or vapor phase system. PowerBasket SMD Powerelements are repeatedly pluggable. Compared to conventional systems, the design of the contact lamellas significantly reduces plug-in and extraction forces. It is possible to use multiple contacts at once when combined with a position tolerance of up to 0.6 mm. They are particularly suitable for use as board-to-board connectors. A special alloy used in the products also allows them to be used in high ambient temperatures.

The company will also present its new optimized online shop just in time for PCIM. This is where customers will be able to discover the largest range of Powerelements on the market. The new online shop stands out due to its simplified user interface, intuitive product search, live chat for better customer service and the option for developers to order free samples.
