Documentation & Additional Information
SHANGHAI – December 10, 2013 – In response to the electronics market’s increasing need for smaller connectors that handle faster speed, TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity, today introduced a new 0.5mm fine pitch hermaphroditic (FPH) board-to-board connector for parallel stacking of printed circuit boards. This hermaphroditic, “mate-to-itself” interconnect system is robust yet economical, helping consolidate connector selection, reduce component engineering and part maintenance costs, and eliminate material scrap on the factory floor.
“The 0.5mm FPH board-to-board connector can reduce our customers’ engineering design costs and simplify their connector qualification, documentation and maintenance processes. This cannot be achieved by conventional stacking connectors with plugs and receptacles,” said Greg Paukert, product manager, TE Consumer Devices. “This connector also benefits customers in a wide range of applications, including portable and mobile electronic equipment, hard-disk drives, medical and instrumentation, point-of-sale retail equipment, sensors, motor vehicles, metering and energy, and communications and networking.”
Designed to mate to itself, the TE’s 0.5mm FPH connector allows two of the same connectors to mate. With this unique hermaphroditic contact design, customers don’t need to have both plug connectors and receptacle connectors for board-to-board applications, eliminating half of the part numbers. In addition, this TE connector has an extreme operating temperature range and high-speed data transfer capacity.
