SAURO offers an innovative and high-quality range of SMD products among terminal blocks and connectors, available in different pitches, from 3,5mm to 10mm. SMD terminal blocks series are: MBBD, MTBD, MSBD. These latter are all screw-type products with rising clamp technology; despite the necessity to have space enough for the clamp to go up and down they are very small with a height of 7,5mm for MBBD and a height of maximum 10mm for MSBD. The MBBD product is the smallest SMD product with rising clamp technology among all terminal blocks available in the world. SAURO offers also a SMD terminal blocks with push-in technology, the MCBD product. This latter has all the multiple advantages of push-in technology, such as the ease and speed of handling which result in an optimized installation process and cost. In addition to terminal blocks, SAURO offers also a SMD header, which is the CSMD series. This latter and all SMD terminal blocks are made in high temperature plastic material in order to be soldered inside the reflow oven together with all the other SMD products which are present on the PCB. Furthermore, they are designed to be packed in tape on reel or cell tray and automatically picked by pliers or vacuum nozzle to be mounted on the PCB. The height so small and the surface soldering feature allow the use in devices where the aesthetics and design are important and often require reduced overall dimensions of the device itself, like: heating, ventilation and air conditioning control devices, lighting control devices, video door entry panels, entrance panels, lift control panels, alarm devices, etc. 

SAURO has a wide range of innovative STH products (STH is an acronym to identify SAURO’s Through Hole Reflow products) realized with a glass fiber reinforced polyamide with high melting temperature allowing the use in the reflow oven. A very beneficial feature of this material is that it is rated MSL1 (Moisture Sensitive Level 1), it means it is insensitive to moisture and no sealant bag or exsiccation is required in order to avoid popcorn effect during the reflow soldering. STH products are terminal blocks, screw type and push-in, and headers that can be soldered in the reflow oven together with all other SMD products eliminating the additional wave soldering process and all the intermediate PCB storages. All SAURO STH products are meant and designed to be mounted on the PCB automatically using pliers or vacuum nozzle without the use of pad. SAURO indeed always suggests the pad-less solution to avoid its manual removal and the resulting waste management. To allow the automated picking process of the product, it must be in a defined position therefore the ideal packaging is tape on reel or cell tray. Products are indeed placed in individual cavities in tape on reel or cell tray designed according to the specific product and manufactured internally in SAURO. For high volume usage or if the assembly technology is so advanced even with small volumes, the automated assembly process on the PCB is the most reliable, productive and efficient choice. With SAURO STH products the automated assembly on the PCB is not only feasible, but can reach high performance since the high quality and reliability of products and its related packaging.

One of the highlights of SAURO is the offer of customized solutions according to customer requests, which could be different colors than standard ones, pad-printing of characters and numbers, plastic housing and metallic components modifications, packaging in kits, accessories like occluders, coding keys, short-circuit bridge, etc. Standard color of traditional SAURO products, suitable for manual or wave soldering, is green , while the one for STH and SMD SAURO products, suitable for reflow soldering is black. For both standard and high temperature products, additional colors are available upon request. SAURO performs pad printing by using a bi-component ink, obtaining the highest possible readability, indelible and scratch resistant characters. Pad printing can be standard (numbers in progression) or customized (sequences of characters, numbers or symbols with different dimensions, colors, orientation and positions). Due to the flexibility of molding tools and the philosophy of being oriented towards customer needs, plastic housings and metallic components can be designed according to the customer required specification.
Examples of customization on the plastic housing are:
– non-fundamental geometric changes
– closed product base
– closed wire entry
– header and plug with integrated polarization in order to have a distinct and safe connection
– peg with dual function: integrated polarization for a distinct and safe assembly on the PCB and a stronger anchoring on the PCB for higher stability during the wire tightening process or reflow soldering process
– addition wire strain relief
Examples of customization on the metallic components are:
– customized soldering side pin length
– special plating, such as gold plating
– various screw head types, different from the standard slotted one
– clamp supplied closed
– customized spring gap
– dedicated grounding pins
Packaging in kit allows simplified product handling, shipping, storage and assembly, as well as reduced risk of error. SAURO can realize different type of kits, such as:
– a bag with various products inside based on PCB assembly configuration
– a carton with various products packaged separately to optimize the PCB assembly process
– various modular products hooked together and possibly numbered by marking, so that their subsequent sequential separation optimizes their PCB assembly process
All these customizations can be the solution for an error-free and distinct connection.

SAURO offers a wide range of spring products with push button among terminal blocks and connectors, available in different pitches (from 3,5mm to 10,16mm) and versions (0°, 90°, 45° to the PCB). Push-in terminal blocks series are: MMTH, MCB, MCBD, MCBH, MCCH, MCM, MCMH, MCQ, MCQH; push-in plugs series are: CFF, CBF, CHF, CCF. The newest products added to the spring-tightening range are: the CCFS, the compact version of CCF, the CSFC, the spring clamp version of the CSF screw connector, and the MCB terminal block, also available in high-temperature and SMD versions, with lever.
This wire clamping technology has multiple advantages, including reduced wiring time and easy handling which result in optimized installation process and cost. Solid wires and stranded wires with ferrules can be directly inserted by hand without using any tool. Furthermore, products are vibration and gas proof and have a protection class IP20, it means that it is not possible to come into contact with metal parts that may be in tension with fingers. All spring clamp products are available in standard plastic material for wave soldering process on the PCB, and in high temperature plastic material, which makes products suitable for reflow soldering. For these latter, the packaging suggested is tape on reel and cell trays for the automated picking and consequent placing process of products on the PCB. Choosing SAURO push-in products high quality, reliability and high performance are always guaranteed.
