Board-to-board compression connectors
7 August 2013
Interconnection
AVX has extended its line of high-reliability board-to-board compression connectors for commercial, medical and harsh industrial applications with the addition of an ultra-low-profile power connector. Featuring gold-plated beryllium copper (BeCu) contacts that are insert-moulded within the insulator for location and mechanical stability, the new 9155-100 Series connectors are capable of supporting a compressed height of just 1,3 mm.
The series has a mechanical endurance rating of 5000 mating cycles and features a sweeping contact design that provides a 0,7 mm Z-axis deflection range, a long contact wipe, and greater than 40 grams of contact force at minimum operating deflection.
Rated for 3 A per contact, 125 V a.c. and a -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range, the connectors support a broad spectrum of applications, including repeatable/pluggable modules and battery packs, low-profile flex circuit to PCB applications, and nearly any application that requires low-profile power, signal or ground shielding.
The 9155-100 series also features 0,4 m selective gold in the mating area for high reliability and is currently available in two- and three-position configurations; however, a single-contact version designed for increased design flexibility and cost effectiveness will soon be available.
