TE Connectivity’s one-piece compressive board-to-board connector connects to a gold-plated secondary board via compression of the contacts. To enhance design flexibility,t he component is scalable in a number of positions, height, and pitch. It is made of high temperature thermal plastic and copper alloy and includes dimples on the contact area. Preloaded contacts are protected from damage that can occur through accidental contact lifting. The 0.08mm co-planarity over all solder tails further reduces solder paste thickness, allowing for better accuracy and expanded applications. Target apps include mobile devices, cameras, and handheld GPS. TE CONNECTIVITY, Harrisburg, PA. (877) 623-4766.
