New ultra-miniature high-density RD strip connector for PCBs
Hypertac is launching a new ultra-miniature high-density RD strip connector for PCB connections. It has been designed for use in applications that operate in severe environments such as electronic equipment in aerospace and defence applications.
Using the 0.30mm hyperboloid contact, the high-density RD connector is offered in one or two rows with a pitch of 1.27mm, enabling a contact density of up to 60 ways per cm2. It is available in either SMT or THT termination type, and is customisable for pick-and-place machines.
The very high density and performance specification of the RD connector make it suitable for PCB or MCM stacking, and for flex or wire direct connections onto PCBs. It enables a very low stacking height, with mated connectors reaching just 6.9mm.
In addition to the standard characteristics of strip connectors, the Hypertac hyperboloid technology brings the advantages of very low contact resistance, a 3A current rating for each 0.3mm pin contact, immunity to shocks and vibrations, protection against fretting and resistance to corrosion.
