Fine Pitch Board-to-Board Connectors

Small, but Mighty Fine

Our fine pitch board-to-board connectors are optimized interconnect solutions for smaller and thinner electronic consumer products. They are designed to meet the miniaturization trend in the market. Our product series features a smaller centerline, narrower body, and lower mating height. Plus, there are various advantages including formed contacts to provide contact points on rolled surface for high reliability, enhanced usability for easy mating and robustness, sufficient area for pick and place, Ni-barrier for solder wicking, and more. Our design capability allows us to continue to develop innovative new products in the fine pitch board-to-board connector series.

Narration from Eric Himelright:

“As an innovative leader in connectivity, TE Connectivity is proud to introduce the 0.4 millimeter fine pitch board-to-FPC connector solution with integrated EMI shield.

One of the lowest profile height board-to-board connectors in the market, with the industry’s first integrated EMI shield.”

“This solution enables our customers to deliver even slimmer smartphones, tablets, and smart portable devices, while still delivering even higher data speeds.”

(Onscreen: 0.9 mm Total Height Equal to 0.5 mm Stacking Height BTB Connector)

“Just imagine, this new product at less than one millimeter total height includes a .5 millimeter receptacle connector, a standard .08 millimeter FPC, and a .3 millimeter stiffener plate.”

“We believe the unique design with integrated shielding capability is something our customers are going to love. It lowers the overall profile height of their devices, and streamlines their internal reliability testing process. Some important features of this exciting new product include:

(Onscreen: Full Shield Provides EMI protection)

A full shield providing EMI protection, specifically for high-speed data transmission,

(Onscreen: Visible Mating Alignment | Simple Mating and Un-mating)

…visible mating alignment, which allows for simple mating and un-mating, and

(Onscreen: Spring Clip Provide Robust and Strong Retention)

…a spring clip, which provides robust shield retention.

Our new EMI-shielded board-to-flex connector is part of our complete line-up of fine pitch board-to-board connector solutions.

Our commitment is producing high performance, high reliability, board-to-board and board-to-FPC connectors that enable our customers to offer some of the most advance and slimmest consumer devices. Our existing 0.4 millimeter pitch board-to-board connector has a robust body structure to eliminate housing breakage…
