Weidmüller BLF series connectors in stock at Digi-Key

THIEF RIVER FALLS, USA: Electronic components distributor Digi-Key Corp. announced it has stock on Weidmüller’s BLF Series Pluggable PCB Connectors, available in 5.00mm and 5.08mm pitches.

These push-in connectors are available for purchase on Digi-Key’s global websites and will be featured in future print and online catalogs.

One feature of the BLF Series of Pluggable PCB Connectors is the fast push-in connection technology for a tool-less connection when inserting a prepared conductor into the wire entry slot. The BLF series features different wire outlet directions from 90º to 180º to 270º. Additionally, the connectors come with twin plugs with integrated, high-performance cross-connections that enable bus applications with an exceeding bus current up to 22 Amps (A).

These connectors are designed for general use and easy testing. Each connector includes a large clamping area of 0.2 to 2.5mm2 to accommodate wire ferrules with plastic collars and meet minimum creepage requirements. Additionally, diagnostic test points are easily accessible with convenient test plug sockets to simplify function monitoring and allow for fast manual diagnosis for troubleshooting.

Rounded molding shapes and large, slip-resistant actuation buttons ensure user-friendly handling. These connectors are UL rated for 300V, 20A with wire sizes of 26-12 AWG.

“The unique design of the Weidmüller BLF series offers many benefits for customers in need of a quick, secure connection,” said Jeff Shafer, Digi-Key’s vice president of interconnect, passive, and electromechanical product. “The tool-free push-in connection reduces production costs by saving time, and the test points provide easy access when trouble-shooting errors.”
