Board-to-board connector line expanded to include 0.635 mm pitch versions
Samtec has expanded its successful line of Edge Rate board-to-board connectors to include a higher density mated set that is half the width of previous designs and offers a lower-profile 5 mm mated height (ERF6 & ERM6 Series). ERF6 & ERM6 Series Edge Rate connectors support 56 Gbps PAM4 high-speed, rugged mezzanine applications for industrial, embedded vision, […]
Board-to-board connectors pass 16 Gb/sec digital signals
Hirose has expanded its DF40 board-to-board floating connector series to support PCI-ex Gen.4 (16Gbps) and MIPI D-PHY Ver.1.1 (1.5Gbps). The DF40F Series provides high-density mounting, significant space-savings, and high-temperature resistance to 125 degrees for automotive applications. The DF40F Series is most commonly used in in-vehicle sensor applications including cameras, LIDAR, millimeter-wave radar, and more. Simplifying […]
Multi-RF board-to-board connector combines digital and RF signals
Hirose has released a multi-RF board-to-board connector that provides a size reduction of up to 71% compared to conventional designs. With the industry’s smallest width of only 2.2 mm, the BM56 Series supports multiple RF and digital signals with one board-to-board connector. By combining digital and RF signals into a single connector, the BM56 Series […]
Connector family handles 224 Gb/sec digital signals
A set of five connectors that connect board-to-board, board-to-backplane, and board-to-cable connections address signal-integrity issues not present at lower data rates. Every time digital data streams make a speed jump, new problems in physics emerge that did not exist at lower speeds. Now that 224 Gb/sec PAM4 links are in development, engineers must deal with […]
Fully-shielded, board-to-board connector capable of 40 Gbps/lane transmission
I-PEX has released the new NOVASTACK 35-HDH fully-shielded, board-to-board connector at 1.5 mm mating height and 0.35 mm pitch. This connector combines excellent mating workability with high electrical performance. The NOVASTACK 35-HDH connector can be used in a wide variety of applications, including notebook PCs, automotive cameras, VR headsets, etc. With its 360-degree metal shielded ZenShield design, […]
D-sub connectors: Everyone speaks of them incorrectly
You probably don’t know it, but you’ve been referring to most D-sub connectors incorrectly for your entire career.
Liquid crystal polymers get an upgrade for high-speed signals
RF and high-speed digital signals have brought on the development of new liquid crystal polymer materials used in connectors, PCBs, and other interconnects. Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are experiencing a surge in demand resulting from high-speed communications technologies, particularly fine-pitch components such as high-frequency connectors, board-to-board connectors, and low-pass insulation supporters, or dipoles on active […]
Tiny, 0.8 mm-pitch board-to-board connectors target high-density industrial systems
Harwin announces the Archer .8 series. With a 5mm stack height, these dual-row 0.8mm-pitch board-to-board connectors are intended for uses where there is very limited available space and cost-effectiveness is equally important. These include factory automation and environmental monitoring equipment, smart meters, point-of-sales units, servers/data center hardware, and battery management systems in electric vehicles. The […]
High density FPC-to-board/board-to-board connectors support USB4 Gen2 transmission
Hirose has designed an innovative FPC-to-board/board-to-board connector series that offers high density mounting and space-savings. Supporting USB4 Gen2 (10Gbps) transmission for a wide range of portable electronic and consumer devices, the DF40 Series combines a 0.4 mm pitch with a mounting depth of only 3.68 mm. The robust DF40 Series connector features a superior stamped […]
