13 June 2018
Interconnection
Würth Elektronik eiSos has expanded its portfolio of board-to-board connectors. Under the designation WR-BTB, the manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components offers a broad spectrum of plugs and receptacles. Examples for the new SMT assembly connectors are plugs and receptacles with collars and chamfers in 1,00 mm and 0,80 mm pitch.
The robust plug connectors are designed for 30 mating cycles, the insulation material is of flammability class UL94 V-0 (certified UL approval E323964), and has an operating temperature of -55°C to +85°C. The rated current of the partially gold-plated copper-alloy contacts is 0,5 A, with voltage stability at 500 V. The contact resistance is just 50 mΩ.
The plugs are available in 1,00 mm pitch with heights of 8,35 and 6,35 mm; the matching receptacles are available with 10,30, 7,30 and 5,30 mm heights. For the 0,80 mm pitch plugs, these heights are 7,60, 5,60 and 4,60 mm; the counterparts have heights of 11,75, 7,75 and 3,75 mm. All WR-BTB series components also offer a variety of different numbers of poles.
