DeScription
Low profile surface mount socket and pin connectors for parallel mounting. The number
of contacts for each connector is from 2 to 10 poles. This pair of connectors is an optimal
solution to connect and stack printed circuit boards. Both carriers are made of high tem-
perature plastic and maintain the contacts in place during the soldering operation. Car-
rier is used as a pick & place cap allowing automatic positioning on the PCB. Cap is not
foreseen to be removed after soldering. Both connectors can be supplied either in bulk
or in a tape & reel packaging. Challenge was to develop a connector that will be soldered
on a minimum PCB surface.
Main advantage of this connector is its small size and it can be soldered from under-
neath. Optimal connection between two PCB. Reliable technology using our BeCu clip
with 500 cycles guaranteed. The maximum current rating is 3 Amps.
Pair of connectors (socket connector & pin header) has originally been designed and de-
veloped for a connection between two LED lighting strips. Each strip is equipped on one
end with a 2-way socket connector and on the other end with a pin header. LED lighting
strips are stackable. For this application, a connector with SMD solder tails at the back
of the connector was not possible due to space limitation. This type of connectors can of
course be used in many other applications where a board-to-board connection is needed.
