Molex offers board-to-board miniature connectors

Molex has introduced the Slimstack series of board-to-board miniature connectors.

Each connector has a 0.40mm pitch, a 0.70mm mated height and a 2.60mm width.

The new connectors offer overall space savings and reliable electrical contact when compared to similar versions, according to the company.

The Molex Slimstack SMT board-to-board connectors are suitable for use in mobile phones, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, camcorders and other compact mobile devices.

In addition to their ultra-low profile and narrow width, features of the new connectors include: a two-point contact design and a 0.18mm wipe length; a nickel-barrier plating to prevent solder flux intrusion; a tactile click sound and feel to confirm secure mating; and gold-plated terminals for durability over repeated cycling.

The new Slimstack connector versions are available in 20-50 circuits and have four solder tabs on each mating side for secure PCB retention.

The system is rated at 50V and 0.3A.

The housing mould designs include a wide area to accommodate vacuum pick-and-place nozzles, avoiding the extra material and assembly costs of using vacuum tape.
