Replaced by
New Improved PN 6285
As part of our continuous improvement program, Zierick has created a new improved terminal,
Part Number 6285, which will replace the parts listed below.
On the strip (or reeled) form of the existing PN 6195, there is a connecting tie at the terminal’s
base. This connection is removed by a Zierick feeder prior to presentation. This leaves an
unplated edge at the base of the terminal, which is a less than optimal condition for solderability.
The new terminal, Part Number 6285, is carried (or connected to each other in strip or reeled
form) at the terminal’s shoulder, rather than at the base. This configuration lends itself to more
reliable and consistent feeding for pick up and placement. Carrying the terminal at the shoulder
also minimizes the potential for deformation of the base, which might affect the perpendicularity
of the terminal when placed on a PCB.
When the Zierick feeder severs the connection between the new terminals prior to presentation,
it leaves no unplated material on the base. This results in a better solder fillet and a stronger
solder joint when the parts are soldered onto the Printed Circuit Board. We have also eliminated
the potential for a burr at the base by shearing the terminal at its shoulder. This further
improves the perpendicularity of the terminal on the PCB, and the terminal’s retention to the
Printed Circuit Board.
The base and footprint of the new Part Number 6285 are identical to those of the old versions,
PN 6195 and PN 6281. Therefore no change is required either to the PCB or the manufacturing
process. However, the new terminal is slightly taller than the old version. This is because the
distance from the base of the part to the carrier was increased to keep the carrier above the
board and solder fillet, while the distance from the top of the carrier to the top of the part is
controlled by a UL specification.
After a transition period, the old PN 6195 and PN 6281 will be discontinued. Please plan your
needs accordingly. Questions or comments can be directed to contactus@zierick.com.
