The 1.3mm Universal Contact features the lowest profile currently available on the market - and an even lower profile option, just 0.9mm in height, is in development.
The Universal Contact, as its name implies, allows designers to standardise interfaces across different devices.
For example, in mobile phones it can be used for speaker, microphone, buzzer and antenna functions, as well as other PCB devices.
The contact incorporates preload and anti-lift features.
The x-y-z movement provides a robust connection between the contact and the component assembly during shock and vibration.
Because the contacts have no mating component, they can be positioned at any angle.
The new two way Universal Contact is offered on a 1.5mm pitch, and measures just 2.5mm in free height.
Maximum current rating for the selectively plated gold over beryllium copper Universal Contact is 2A nominal and 3A peak at 3V DC. Request a free brochure from ITT Interconnect Solutions ...
