Würth Elektronik has introduced the WA-SMCH (surface mounted cable holder) as a space-saving replacement for printed circuit board-mounted, bonded or snapped cable holders intended to accommodate cable ties. The automatically mountable and solderable holder made of tin-plated phosphor bronze offers a very stable fastening solution with a holding force up to 370 N. Cables or cable ties can be routed lengthwise or crosswise through the 10 mm × 6 mm x 2 mm component.

Subsequent manual placement of individual components in surface mounted manufactured assemblies Source: Würth Elektronik requires additional processes and thus generates error risks and additional costs. This is where the cable holder developed by Würth Elektronik comes into its own with a lean and elegant solution: WA-SMCH is surface mounted and thus eliminates additional processes and costs in production.

WA-SMCH is available from stock without a minimum order quantity. As a special service for small quantities, Würth Elektronik offers a re-reeling service: Customers can order individual component quantities in belt sections on a reel with a minimum of 40 cm leader and trailer. Würth Elektronik also provides developers free samples on request.
