Molex has launched two new versions of its SlimStack fine-pitch SMT board-to-board connectors. Available through TTI’s distribution network, the SlimStack Hybrid power connector and SlimStack Armor connector combine extra power lines into a signal connector.
Designed for smartphones, portable audio players and mobile medical devices, the SlimStack connector portfolio offers manufacturers a wide selection of low-profile, narrow interface options in various heights and circuit sizes for space savings and design flexibility.
The hybrid connectors primarily support power functionality in battery and other mobile device power applications. Featuring a 0,40 mm pitch and 0,75 mm mated height, they enable high-current carrying capability, with a dual-contact structure for excellent power and signal reliability. These connectors deliver 6,0 A power, 0,3 A signal.
Featuring a 0,35 mm pitch and 0,60 mm mated height, SlimStack Armor connectors are targeted at signal functionality in mobile devices and other tight-packaging applications. When additional power is needed for value-added features, such as fast battery charging or LED flash functions, their metal housing covers can serve as power nails to deliver up to 3,0 A of extra power.
SlimStack Armor connectors feature robust metal covers on the housing corners to prevent damage from misalignment during mating. By loading terminals from the bottom, these connectors create a ‘canopy’ style cover in the housing, which serves as a barrier to prevent terminal pullout during rough, angled unmating. The cover also prevents housing damage by absorbing wear and tear of multiple mating cycles. A wide chamfered alignment area makes the connector and plug easier to guide together.
All Molex SlimStack connectors provide secure terminal retention. Constructed of high-strength copper alloy, dual contacts on the signal and power terminals reduce the risk of power or signal disruption due to shock, vibration or drops. Audible and tactile feedback confirms when a SlimStack connector is properly mated to a device.
