■Features

1. Reduced size and board-occupied area

With the mated height of 0.98 mm, width of 2.98mm and length of 8.22 mm (30 positions) the connectors are one of the smallest in its class. Sufficiently large flat areas allow pick-up with vacuum nozzles of automatic placement equipment.

2. Reliable electrical and mechanical connection

Despite its small mated height, unique contact configuration, with a 2-point contacts and effective mating length of 0.25mm, assures highly reliable connection while confirming a complete mating with a definite tactile feel.

3. Self alignment

Recognizing the difficulties of mating extremely small connectors in limited spaces, the connectors will self-align within 0.3mm.

4. Physical shock and vibration protection

2-point contact assures electrical connection in a shock or vibration applications.

5. Solder wicking prevention

Nickel barriers (receptacles) and unique forming of the contacts (headers) prevent un-intentional solder wicking.

6. Contamination protection

Insulator walls protect the contact areas against flux splatter or other physical particles contamination.

7. RoHS compliant

All components and materials comply with the requirements of EU Directive 2002/95/EC.

■Applications

Mobile phones, digital cameras, digital camcorders and other thin portable devices requiring high reliability board-to board/ board-to-FPC connections.
