OMNIMATE Signal – Overview
The differences between OMNIMATE Signal
PCB terminals and PCB connectors:
Pitch and cable entry:
As the pitch of the OMNIMATE connectors increases so
does the maximum cable entry (clamping range), which in
turn increases the dielectric strength and current carrying
capacity (according to IEC and UL).
The connectors consist of headers and plugs:
The headers are processed on the circuit board. There is a
eld connection available for the male plug. It‘s your choice
whether the nger-safe side is in the eld or on the circuit
board.
The soldering process for the headers and terminals:
You can choose components for wave or reow soldering.
Optimised packaging and products are also available for
either SMT or SMD assembly processes.
The types of wire connection for plugs and terminals:
The type of connection used is what often makes the
difference. All of Weidmüller‘s connection systems are
distinguished by safety, convenience and reliability. You can
select from screw, spring or other type of wire connections.
The wire orientation:
The terminals, headers and plugs are all available in several
outlet directions (90°, 135°, 180°, etc.) so that they can
always meet the application requirements for your device.
Each overview page explains the different wire outlet
directions (orientation).
The ange options:
Various ange options with different fastening methods are
available for the OMNIMATE PCB plug-in connectors. They
all help to ensure that the connectors cannot be accidentally
disconnected from the circuit board.
More information can be found in the product overview on
page 38.

Clamping yoke screw connection
Tried-and-true effectiveness
•
The screw connection guarantees a globally accepted,
vibration
proof and maintenance free connection
• A large conductor clamping area is covered
• The ”Wire Ready“ technology ensures that the terminal points are
fully open at delivery, even after being transported world-wide
• The ”Wire Guard“ protection mechanism prevents accidental
insertion of the wire underneath the clamping area which can be
dangerous, it protects against hidden faulty contacts
• The at clamping yoke also enables the clamping of very small
cross-section wires
PUSH IN spring connection
The quickest direct plug-in mechanism
• Fast, tool-less wire connection with direct insertion technology
• The stainless steel spring results in a vibration-resistant connection
• Higher resistance to wire pull-out than in a tension clamp system
• Constant conductor clamping force independent of the operator
• Operator error is reduced using a colour-coded and intuitive
actuator
• Wire feed and the operation are aligned in the same direction
which permits a compact equipment design
