• Structure Principle of Board-to-Board Connector 2023-09-26

  Structure principle of board-to-board connector The basic structural parts of the board-to-board connector are as follows: contacts, insulators, shells, and accessories contacts are the core parts of the connector to complete the electrical connection function. Generally, the contact pair is composed of positive contacts and negative contacts, and the electrical connection is completed through the insertion of Yin and Yang contacts. The shape of the positive contact is cylindrical (round pin), square column (square pin) or flat (insert), and it is a rigid part. Positive contacts are generally made of brass or phosphor bronze. The contact part is the jack, which is the key part of the contact pair. It relies on the elastic deformation of the elastic structure when inserting the pin and generates the elastic force to form close contact with the positive contact part to complete the connection. There are many types of jack structures, such as cylinder type (split slot, reduced mouth), tuning fork type, cantilever beam type (longitudinal slot), folded type (longitudinal slot, figure 9), box shape (square jack) and hyperbolic wire spring jack. The insulator, also known

• Basic Performance of Board-to-Board Connectors 2023-09-22

  Basic performance of board-to-board connectors The basic performance of board-to-board connectors can be divided into three categories: mechanical performance, electrical performance and environmental performance. 1.Mechanical properties As far as the connection function is concerned, the insertion and withdrawal force is an important mechanical property. Inserting and pulling force is divided into inserting force and pulling force (pulling force is also called separation force), and the requirements of the two are different. In the relevant standards, there are greater insertion force and minimum separation force provisions, which indicates that from the point of view of use, the insertion force should be small (so that there is a low insertion force LIF and no insertion force ZIF structure), and if the separation force is too small, it will affect the reliability of contact. Another important mechanical property is the mechanical life of the board-to-board connector. Mechanical life is actually a durability index, which i

• Edge Connectors Selection Guide 2023-07-20

  Edge Connectors Selection Guide Card Edge Connectors Definition Card edge connectors (also called edge card connectors) are embedded devices that mate with the edges of single-sided or double-sided printed circuit boards (PCBs) in order to provide an external electrical connection. Industry standards define power specifications such as voltage levels, power pin placements, and power requirements. For example, PICMG 1.0/1.2 standards define the power specifications for peripheral component interconnect (PCI) and industry standard architecture (ISA) buses. Contacts The contacts are made of metal and are plated with a thin, metallic coating that improves conductivity and prevents rust and corrosion. Plating materials include: Gold Copper Nickel Silver Edge Card Connector Contacts are housed in a termination assembly that is usually made of plastic. Card edge connectors are used widely in personal computers (PCs) and, depending on their components, are suitable for some lead-free applications and compliant with RoHS. Rows Typically, card edge connectors are available with one or two rows of contacts. Contact Pitch The distance between pins, can range from as small as 0.0197'' or 0.5 mm to as large as 0.111'' or 2.84 mm. Geometry There are straight and right angle card edge connectors. These distinctions simply refer to the way the card edge connector is bent. Edge Card Connectors Terminations Crimping compresses or deforms a contact wire barrel around a conductor. Wire wrapping requires the use of a special tool to wrap a stripped or unstripped wire around a terminal post that contains a series of sharp edges. Insulation displacement connect

• What is a Berg Strip - Types & Applications 2023-07-18

  What is a Berg Strip - Types & Applications What is a pin header/Berg Strip? A pin header, or strip header, is a male connector with one or two rows of metal pins attached to a plastic base. Pin headers with more than two rows are available from some manufacturers. The pins are spaced in uniform intervals (commonly 2.54 mm or 0.1 inch apart) but many spacings are available depending on the application. The female counterpart is sometimes referred to as a female socket header. The original pin header was manufactured by Berg Electronics Corporation (now part of Amphenol) and, as a result, pin headers are sometimes called Berg connectors. Today, they are manufactured by many companies. Pin headers are typically through-hole devices (THD). That is, the pins are inserted through holes drilled in the PCB and soldered on the opposite side. However, some headers are surface mount devices (SMD). In this case, the pins are bent 90° and mounted (soldered) directly to the surface of the PCB. Headers can be straight (vertical) or right-angle (to connect two PCBs horizontally). Berg Strip is a commonly found connector in all kind of circuit boards. It is also called as Berg Stick because of its stick like structure. The Berg Strip is very light and compact and it can be easily assembled to a circuit board. One of the main features of the Berg Strip is that, unlike other connector a designer can modify the connector module as per his imagination. The Burg Strip can be easily cut off into pieces having required pin numbers, and then the pieces can be arranged in a single row or in a row and column manner. This freedom makes the Berg Strip all-time favorite of the circuit designers. Berg Strip Types Berg strips are availa

• What are Floating Type Connectors? 2023-07-15

  What are Floating Type Connectors? It has a structure in which an insulator housing, colored green in the figure on the right, of a mated pair of connectors is like floating. It is impossible to mate general rigid connectors if they are mounted out of precise alignment, but is possible with the floating type connectors. Even if connectors are mounted out of alignment, it is possible for a floating type connector (colored green) to move in the floating space to mate to the counterpart connector properly. Thus the connectors absorb the positional deviation on boards and positional deviation generated in installing boards on which the connectors are mounted to the customers' units. Advantages in using them It is possible to use plural pairs of connectors on a single printed circuit board, The degree of freedom in component layout and in circuit design increases, The stress applied to the solder joints decreases to suppress solder cracks.

• board-to-board floating connectors 2023-07-13

  What Is Floating? board-to-board floating connectors are electromechanical interconnects that can absorb misalignments in the "X", "Y", and "Z" axes. Unlike traditional connectors, these connectors have a unique design that suspends the mating interface above the PCB using bent terminals that provide elasticity. This elasticity is crucial in providing several advantages, including improved misalignment tolerance and greater reliability in electronic connections. floating technology offers misalignment correction and vibration protection while reducing stress to soldering joints and contact area. How It Works Increasing Tolerance & Reliability Floating board to board connections boast tolerance compensation of up to 1 mm over X, Y and Z axes. This facilitates the process of joining PCBs in the event of misalignment or blind joining. The reliability of the connection systems enable a secure usage, even under challenging ambient conditions, offering a space-saving concept. Decreasing Stress Moreover, the impacts of vibrations and shocks are effectively mitigated, while the sensitive contact surfaces are also protected against mechanical stress and fretting corrosion. Suspended mating contacts inside the plug and socket; absorb vibration and also prevent solder cracks from mating miss-alignment.
