AVX releases tiny board-to-board connector series

The 5802 Series low-profile connectors feature an ultra-slim form factor of 0.8mm stacking height and 3.2mm width, including tails.

The 10 to 60-position connector range has a design that does not compromise reliability or performance, claims AVX.

The area beneath the 5802 Series connector is fully insulated, allowing designers to run tracks beneath the device for a more flexible board layout.

To ensure low insertion force while maintaining high retention and separation force, the connector contact employs a twin rib structure.

The structure also ensures that contacts are wiped clean from contaminants, such as dust and flux, during every mating cycle.

Providing an audible and tactile 'click' mating, the plugs are shaped by insert mouldings and enclosed metal fittings on the receptacles to improve breaking strength against any drop impact.

A nickel barrier and solder-on receptacle contacts prevent solder wicking, while pinched-type dual contacts enhance contact reliability.

Other specifications include 0.3A rated contact current, 50V rated contact voltage, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, UL94V-0 heat-resistant insulator material and a -40 to 85C operating temperature.

The AVX 5802 Series connectors are suitable for use as a space-efficient board-to-board connector that is required for internal wiring of mobile devices, such as mobile phones, MP3 players and cameras.

The series is also suitable for connecting LCDs in camera modules, CMOS/CCD image pickup devices and other space-sensitive board applications.
