1、What is Board to Board Connector?
Board-to-board connector, its basic concept is to connect different circuit boards together.It is the product with the strongest transmission capacity among all connector product types at present,widely used in power systems,communication networks, elevators, industrial automation, medical equipment,home appliances, military manufacturing and other industries.
2. Classification and characteristics of board-to-board connectors
- Pin header/ Female header
Application: large-size smart devices, development boards, debugging boards, etc.
Advantages: cheap and convenient, connection is very stable, strong over-current capability, convenient for wire bonding and testing.
Disadvantages: large size, difficult to bend, large spacing, difficult to connect hundreds of pins
- FPC Connector
Many smart hardware devices need to pull out the signal from the mainboard. FPCs are flexible, small in size, and changeable in shape, making them the best choice.
Application:The connection of the main board and the sub-board, the connection of the main board and peripherals.
Advantage: Compact and cheap.
3.How to choose Board to Board Connector?
In addition to basic issues such as circuit size, stack height and width, there are several things to consider:
Is it true that the smaller the better? If you are willing to accept a smaller vacuum port pickup area, it may be right. Before choosing an ultra-small connector, you must check whether the connector has all the other properties you need, and carefully test to ensure that it is strong and durable.
Then, it seems necessary to choose a socket with a top-mounted connector, because this setup can run tracking under the socket and is likely to facilitate the use of conformal paint. Some disadvantages of top-mounted sockets are that the width of the vacuum pick-up area is often narrow. There is no plastic shell material above the socket terminals to prevent the rise caused by rough disconnection. The more uneven top surface of the socket may be a connection work belt for the operator Come trouble.
These new connectors with stronger disconnection sounds great! Yes, but you may need to tolerate additional connector lengths in order to achieve the locking function required by these connectors; greater disconnection force usually also means greater engagement force, which may be a larger size circuit strap come to the question.
