Full flexibility All board-to-board connectors are designed for currents up to 1.4A and voltages up to 500VAC, and they offer solutions for 12 to 80 connection poles. Reverse polarity protection is particularly important in the compact pitches to prevent damage to the contact metals when they are mated and to ensure long-term stable connections inside the device. Because of this, all board- to-board connectors are polarized accordingly. The geometry of the insulating housing prevents female and male connectors from being mismatched. Both product families have double-sided contacts, so they can make contact on the gold-plated rolled surfaces of the metals. This always guarantees an optimum contact force, even under high shock effects of up to 50g. Another advantage of the robust design: Up to 500 mating and withdrawal cycles are possible without impairing electromechanical stability (Figure 4). The unshielded FINEPITCH 1.27 series is suitable for stacking heights from 8 to 13.8mm. Thanks to pre-assembled female connectors with flat ribbon cable, it also enables wire-to-board applications for larger PCB spacing. The FINEPITCH 0.8mm series offers particularly compact solutions for high-speed data transmission at up to 16Gbps. Depending on the application and the required degree of protection, unshielded versions, and versions with lateral shielding metals are available for maximum data integrity.

(Source: Phoenix Contact) | 18 | high temperatures, and electromagnetic radiation place high demands on passive components. Phoenix Contact responds to these requirements with a newly developed series of board-to-board connectors with 0.8 and 1.27mm pitch. Both product families are ideally suited for the internal device connection of several printed circuit boards. Thanks to horizontal and vertical variants, device manufacturers can implement mezzanine, orthogonal or coplanar PCB arrangements. This flexibility makes it easy for PCB designers to customize electronic layouts for different device applications (Figure 3.)
