Save space with shrinking USB connectors
The new series of mini-BTM USB connectors from Molex take up only about 1/8th of the space of standard USB-B connectors.
Power connectors meet SSI specifications
The new DPS/MPS power connectors from Molex meet the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) open specifications for backplanes.
The dual-row version can be used in board-to-board or flex-to-board applications, whereas the single-row is used only with flex cable on one side.
The thin profile designs of these connectors make them ideal alternatives to FFC connectors in applications where FFC actuators are hard to engage.
Features include a gold-plated contact design that provides good electrical properties, and a tactile "click" to confirm mating.A nickel-plated barrier is selectively applied to terminals to help prevent solder wicking during high-temperature lead-free processes.
The connectors are rated at 50V/0.1A.
Guide posts help facilitate mating, while solder tabs on each corner provide secure PCB retention.
A wide area is available between solder pads on the dual-row version to allow space for PCB tracing.
The connectors also feature a flat open area to enable pick-and-place.
These newest low-profile connectors are part of Molex's broad family of SlimStack connectors that includes various stack heights from 0.95 to 20.00mm, pitch sizes from 0.40 to 1.00mm and circuit sizes from 7 to 240.
