FunctionMax™ FX10 Series, Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

Connectors with linear rows of contacts and a rectangular outline, commonly referred to as board-to-board connectors, offer a highly reliable and efficient solution for creating pluggable connections between printed circuit boards (PCBs) without the use of wires or cables. These connectors provide a large number of electrical connections in a relatively small space, making them ideal for use in space-constrained electronic systems. Board-to-board connectors have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to establish direct and secure connections between PCBs, minimizing signal loss and improving overall system performance. They are commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices such as laptops, smartphones, and wearable technology. These connectors come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different spacing requirements between PCBs and the number of contacts needed. They also offer multiple stacking options, allowing for the creation of multi-tiered PCB assemblies, further increasing the electrical connection density in a limited space. Board-to-board connectors offer many advantages over traditional wire and cable interconnects, including reduced assembly time, increased reliability, and improved signal integrity. They are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes and mechanical shock, making them ideal for use in high-reliability applications such as medical equipment, industrial automation, and aerospace systems. Overall, board-to-board connectors provide a highly efficient and reliable solution for establishing pluggable connections directly between PCBs, offering a large number of electrical connections in a relatively small space while maintaining high signal integrity.
