PowerBox Deans - PIK connector
|
|
New MPX - PIK safety connector system from PowerBox Systems - now supplemented by the Deans - PIK system.
PowerBox Systems has carried out further development based on the American Deans high-current
connector system. As with MPX - PIK connectors, the 'hot smelt' process is used to produce a moulded grip over and around the
terminals, completely enclosing the solder joints and cable ends. Until now it was up to the modeller to decide how he connected
Deans high-current connectors to the cables, and what level of care he applied. Many people found the soldering process difficult,
and poor soldered joints to the terminals would completely nullify the advantages of the connector system. The solder joints
were supported using heat-shrink sleeves, silicone or hot-melt glue. As all users inevitably discovered, these methods did not
constitute long-term solutions.
Much careful thought and testing, and our experience with the MPX - PIK connector, have now led to success.
We start by soldering the cables to the Deans - PIK high-current connector to professional standards. The soldered
connector is then placed in an injection mould made specifically for the Deans unit, and a special "hot smelt" process is applied to
force nylon round the joints under heat and pressure. The result is an incredibly tough connector system of the type used in
full-size aviation and car production. The connector grip features integral indentations, by which it can be inserted and withdrawn
safely and conveniently. The solder joints are fully encapsulated and acid-proof, and the danger of solder joint oxidation is
completely eliminated. The plastic grip relieves the solder joints of all strain, the soldered cable is supported by the moulded-on
grip, and the area liable to fracture - the soldered joint between wire and terminal - is completely supported and protected.
Temperature resistant from -30°C to + 60°C, totally resistant to oil, acid and chemicals, durable, practical and ultra-safe. Upon
request, these new connectors can now be fitted as standard to all PowerBox Batteries - the safest LiPo batteries
currently available for modelling - and PowerSwitches. Of course, cables fitted with plugs and sockets can also be purchased separately,
as can ready-made extension leads in 20, 30 and 40 cm lengths. It is our hope that this new system makes a small but important
contribution to safety in model flying. The new PIK connector system is unique to PowerBox Systems, and is
patent-protected.
