AVX releases series of tall board-to-board stacker connectors

AVX Corp. has released a new series of tall board-to-board stacker connectors. The new 00-9148 Series tall stacker connectors are cost-effective, reliable, and robust; exhibit excellent resistance to shock and vibration; and help reduce tolerance accumulation in a variety of demanding applications across the automotive, consumer, medical, and industrial markets.

The single-piece connectors also reduce assembly time and shorten BOM lists, and feature a double-row design with an 8 mm (±0.2 mm) board-stacking height, a 1 mm pitch, and eight positions, each rated for 1 A continuous current. Additionally, due to flexible tooling, application-specific variants, including: single-row connectors with 4–16 positions, double-row connectors with 8–32 positions, connectors with 4–12mm board-stacking heights, and connectors with locating bosses for enhanced mechanical stability — all with the same fine 1mm contact pitch — can also be accommodated. Rated for 125 V, 50 cycles, and temperatures spanning –40° to 125°C, 00-9148 series connectors are ideal for connecting two parallel boards in applications including: automotive entertainment systems, portable devices that require docking or cradle charging, patient monitoring devices, portable medical equipment, industrial devices that require pluggable or programmable modules, and internet applications that require battery back-up, amongst others.

The new 00-9148 Series tall stacker connectors feature high-temperature plastic insulators that meet the UL94 V-0 flammability standard, high-reliability beryllium copper (BeCu) contacts with 0.25 μm standard gold plating on the nose, or 0.8 μm upon request, and pure-tin over nickel SMT terminations compatible with RoHS-compliant, lead-free reflow soldering processes. The series is supplied in tape and reel packaging in quantities of 400 pieces and mates with gold-plated pads on mating board surfaces.
