SCONDAR SCT1009T Series: Precision Crimp Terminal for 1.0mm Low-Profile LCD Panel Interconnects

DF19-Compatible Form Factor | Enhanced Safety (IEC 60695-2-11) | Reliable Crimp Performance

At the heart of every reliable LCD panel connection lies the quality of the crimp terminal. While connector housings provide the structural foundation, it is the terminal that ensures signal integrity, current carrying capacity, and long-term reliability. The SCONDAR SCT1009T Crimp Terminal is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of 1.0mm pitch, low-profile board-to-wire connections—the factual standard for LCD panel interconnects.

Designed for Compatibility with Industry Standard Housings

The SCT1009T is specifically engineered to be mechanically compatible with standard DF19 series housings, including the widely used DF19A-2830SCFA receptacle configuration. This compatibility allows design engineers to:

• Drop-in Replace: Directly replace existing terminals without modifying housing or PCB designs

• Simplify Sourcing: Maintain dual-source flexibility while ensuring consistent mechanical fit

• Avoid Obsolescence: Secure long-term supply chain stability

Optimized Wire Range: 28-30 AWG

Like the industry-standard DF19A-2830SCFA, the SCT1009T is designed for 28-30 AWG discrete wire. This wire range is ideal for LVDS signals and low-power LCD panel applications:

Thin-Type Low-Profile Design

LCD panels demand minimal standoff height and space-efficient routing. The SCT1009T features a low-profile contact geometry that:

• Optimizes Cable Bending Radius: Reduces stress on wire terminations in tight chassis spaces

• Maintains Signal Integrity: Short signal path minimizes EMI susceptibility in high-frequency LVDS applications

• Supports Thin Cable Routing: Accommodates UL 1571 type wire with 0.5mm-0.6mm insulation diameter

Rich Selection for Diverse Applications

SCONDAR understands that different applications require different terminal options. The SCT1009T series is available in multiple plating and packaging configurations:

• Gold Plating Option: For high-reliability applications requiring corrosion resistance and consistent contact performance

• Tin Plating Option: Cost-effective for consumer and general-purpose applications

• Packaging: Available in cut tape (sample/prototype) and reel packaging for automated crimping

Integrated Grounding with Housing Structure

Signal integrity in LCD panels requires proper grounding to prevent display flicker and EMI issues. The SCT1009T is designed to work seamlessly with SCONDAR SCT1009H housings featuring integrated ground connection structures. When mated with SCONDAR’s ground-equipped housings, the SCT1009T provides:

• Dedicated Ground Contacts: Stable chassis ground connection reduces return path inductance

• EMI Shielding Effectiveness: Minimizes noise coupling into sensitive LVDS signal lines

Enhanced Safety: Glow Wire Compliant (IEC 60695-2-11)

This is where the SCT1009T truly differentiates itself from legacy terminal solutions.

Unlike the Hirose DF19A-2830SCFA, which does NOT carry Glow Wire certification, the SCONDAR SCT1009T series is fully compliant with IEC 60695-2-11 (Glow Wire Flammability Test).

Why this matters for your application:

The Glow Wire Test (GWT) simulates an overheating condition where a connector might be exposed to a glowing hot wire. Components compliant with IEC 60695-2-11 are proven to:

• Not ignite when exposed to 750°C or 850°C hot wire

• Self-extinguish within 30 seconds if ignition occurs

• Prevent flame propagation to surrounding materials

Key Applications Requiring Glow Wire Compliance:

• Home appliances (refrigerators, washing machines, ovens, rice cookers)

• HVAC systems (thermostats, air handlers, heat pumps)

• Industrial control panels

• Medical equipment (subject to collateral standards)

• Smart home devices

Superior Material Selection

The SCT1009T utilizes high-performance phosphor bronze as its base material, selected for the DF19 compatible form factor while employing SCONDAR’s proprietary contact geometry:

• High Fatigue Resistance: Withstands repeated insertion/extraction cycles (30 cycles rated)

• Excellent Spring Properties: Maintains normal force over connector lifetime

• Corrosion Resistant Plating: Gold or tin options for environmental protection

Independent Design to Avoid IP Infringement

SCONDAR respects valid intellectual property rights. The SCT1009T is an independently engineered, legally sourced alternative to the DF19A-2830SCFA.

Key Differentiators in SCONDAR’s Design:

• Proprietary Contact Geometry: Unique bellows-style contact shape developed in-house

• Alternative Crimp Profile: Distinct crimping features requiring no specialized tooling conversion

• Material Traceability: Full documentation of raw material sources and manufacturing processes

Application Note: While mechanically compatible with DF19 series housings for drop-in replacement, the SCT1009T utilizes SCONDAR’s original contact design, stress-relief features, and manufacturing processes to ensure a clear legal status for your end products.
