ULP BtB Compression Contacts Impervious To Extreme Shock

AVX’s 70-9155 series of ruggedized, single piece, ultra low profile, board-to-board compression contacts provide full connector performance and functionality at the individual contact level. The contacts feature a sweeping beam design that enables vertical or horizontal mating, and high force, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts with nickel under plates, that maximize reliability and signal integrity, enabling lifetimes of up to 1,000 cycles. Impervious to extreme shock and vibration, the contacts provide a reliable compression connection to the mating board and can be surface mounted to any position on a PCB in a range of harsh environment applications, including portable/handheld industrial devices, board-to-board power/signal connections and ground connections between PCBs or housings. Packaged on tape and reel for automated SMT placement, the contacts are rated for 3 A and -40°C to +125°C. Currently comprised of two contacts, the 70-9155 Series is available with nominal operating heights of 1.0 and 1.5 mm and with contact operating height ranges of 0.75 - 1.25 and 1.25 - 1.75 mm, and are available with three gold plating options: 0.1 µm for 50 cycles (standard), 0.4 µm for 500 cycles and 0.8 µm for 1,000 cycles.
