Board-to-board compression contacts

12 March 2014 Interconnection

AVX has released a new series of ruggedised, single piece, ultra low profile (ULP) board-to-board compression contacts.

Providing full connector performance and functionality at the individual contact level, the 70-9155 contacts feature a sweeping beam design that enables vertical or horizontal mating and high force, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts that maximise reliability and signal integrity, enabling lifetimes of up to 1000 cycles.

Impervious to even extreme shock and vibration, the parts provide a rugged and reliable compression connection to the mating board and can be surface mounted to any position on a PCB. They are suitable for portable and handheld industrial devices, board-to-board power and signal connections, and ground connections between PCBs or housings.

Packaged on tape and reel for automated SMT placement, the 70-9155 series is rated for 3 A and -40°C to +125°C; voltage ratings for the individual contacts are dependent upon their placement. Currently comprised of two contacts, the 70-9155 series is available with nominal operating heights of 1,0 mm and 1,5 mm and with contact operating height ranges of 0,75–1,25 mm and 1,25–1,75 mm, respectively.
