2mm centreline board connectors are 38% more compact
The board connectors are designed for use across multiple industry segments where space constraints are of particular concern. The new 2mm offerings will include breakaway headers and board-to-board receptacles, both supporting automated surface-mount, through-hole reflow (pin-in-paste), and traditional through-hole mount processes for ease of manufacturing. The 2mm breakaway headers can be mounted onto boards with thicknesses of 1.6mm and 2.4mm, providing customers with a wide range of options for PCB assembly. Through-hole headers feature straight or right-angle posts with a mating post length of 4.0mm and a lead length of 2.8mm and several other lead lengths, depending on board thickness and soldering method. The 2mm board-to-board receptacles are housed in a high-temperature-resistant liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and utilize phosphor bronze contacts with dual cantilever beams that are available in three gold plating thicknesses. The dual-beam design provides for increased contact surface between the header pin and the receptacle contact to allow reliable signal transfers.
