Tyco Electronics Power
Taps are designed for the
growing need for power
to printed circuit board
applications required in
today's electronic industry.
The taps provide a high
current, separable
connection to a pc board.
Pin configuration is of the
standard DIP outline with
.300 x .100 [7.62 x 2.54] or
.250 x .125 [6.35 x 3.18] for
the Standard versions, plus
.400 x .200 [10.16 x 5.08],
.300 x .100 [7.62 x 2.54]
and in-line spacing for the
High Current versions.
ACTION PIN contacts
provide a low resistance
interface with tin plated-
through holes in the pc
board, thereby eliminating
the need for soldering.
The variety of available
power taps allow for various
installation schemes. The
Uninsulated Tap and Low
Profile Tap can be used in
bus bar pattern. The High
Profile and Low Profile Taps
offer insulation protection
from other components.
The High Current versions
provide a greater power
density option with current
ratings from 10 amps on the
2 position in-line .250 [6.35]
tab tap up to 40 amps on
the 8 position dual .250
[6.35] tab tap.
All Tyco Electronics Power
Tap configurations are
easily inserted into the
pc board with a simple
Tyco Electronics or
customer supplied tool.
