Economical connections for high current ratings

With the hermaphroditic MicroStac connectors, the plug and mating plug are identical. The connectors are available in single-row and double-row variants. They offer economical solutions for connectors with high current rating and low connecting frequency. A secure mating of 1.5 millimeters and the high contact force ensure reliability. MicroStac connectors are suitable for fully automatic SMT loading and available for board-to-board heights of three or five millimeters.
