Narrow Pitch SMT Connector Finds Home In Laptops

With a stacking height from 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm, the P6 Series of NAiS-brand 0.6-mm narrow pitch surface-mount connectors is available in pin counts of 20 to 100 contacts. The device features the firm's bellows-type contact, which is engineered from a thin, formed metal to provide excellent shock resistance and contact reliability, even when the equipment is jarred or dropped. This technology features a wide-area, rounded-corner design rather than the sharp edge found in conventional tuning-fork contacts. Other features include suction area for automatic placement machines, tape-and-reel packaging standard, and terminal construction resistant to solder bridging. Typical applications include laptop computers, video equipment, and small portable equipment such as PDAs.
