Würth Elektronik Presents WR-FAST Single-Wire Connections

Waldenburg (Germany), 4 June 2020 — WR-FAST Fast Connection is the name of a series of THT-configurable male connectors for accommodating single wires with blade receptacles — for example in household appliances. The new connectors are available in various blade designs, orientations and dimensions and are intended for current flows up to 16 A and working voltages up to 300 V.

Straight or angled contacts in various numbers are available — for the common 6.3 mm blade receptacles but also for the 2.8 mm version. For the latter, the 2863-type WR-FAST connectors are used: the forked blades can accommodate both types of blade receptacles.

WR-FAST is designed for operating temperatures from -30 to +120°C. The connectors have passed glow wire testing according to IEC 60335-1 and meet flammability class UL94 V-0. They also have cULus approval.

The WR-FAST connector series is now available from stock without a minimum order quantity. Würth Elektronik also offers a Design Kit Interface with free refill service for this product group.
