SMT Connector Is Hermaphroditic Type

Aug. 1, 1999

Numerous benefits are said to result from the identical nature of the male and female SMT connectors in the Microstac series. Inventories are easier to manage, programming requirements in automatic assembly are lessened, and the design of board-to-board interconnects is simplified. The connectors are available in a single row of six or 12 positions or in a dual row with 50 positions. Current carrying capacity is 2A.The connectors’ compact board-to-board stacking dimension is 5 mm, which makes them suited for high-density applications, such as sensor systems, medical equipment, mobile phones, PDAs, memory modules, and automotive and consumer electronics.
