Robust 1.27 mm pitch connectors with 6.5 to 12 mm mating height
SINGAPORE, July 28 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- ERNI introduced a new blindmate connector system with SMT or through-hole termination for mezzanine board-to-board interconnections. This 1.27 mm pitch connector system with its modular design, is appropriate for telecommunications and data-transmission devices. Blindmate feature ensures that it is especially suitable for use in highly demanding systems that require for reliability and robust connections.
Providing 4 different heights of the male connectors and a standard female connector, the MiniMez connector system provides stacking heights from 6.5 mm to 12 mm in steps of 2 mm. Other heights could be realized utilizing the generous wipe length of 2 mm. In addition, customer may choose from a wide range of pin number from 10 to 100, in step of 2. The unique design blindmate features with fully shrouded male connectors and robust thick side walls ensure polarized blindmating without worry of housing wall breakage. Black colour insulator housing allows fast and reliable visual recognition.
For termination, engineer can select SMT for maximum PCB real estate usage or DIP solder for extra mechanical strain relief. Optionally, PCB locking clip is available for the SMT termination to take advantage of maximum PCB real estate usage while not compromising on the PCB retention force. In addition, SMT termination coplanarity is 100% guaranteed, less than 0.10 mm on all contacts.
The operating temperature range is specified as between -55 to +125 degree Celsius. The connectors are delivered in tube packaging. Tape-and-reel packaging with pick-and-place cap for fully automatic SMT assembly is also available.
