TE Connectivity (TE) has introduced a groundbreaking board-to-board (BtB) connector with a fine pitch and an ultra-compact body width of just 1.85 mm. This new BtB connector, featuring a 0.35 mm pitch, is among the smallest on the market and is specifically designed to meet the growing demand for slimmer and more compact consumer electronics. By enabling greater design flexibility and reducing manufacturing costs, this innovative solution reinforces TE’s commitment to delivering high-performance, reliable interconnect technologies.
The connector offers a stack height range of 0.6 mm to 1.0 mm, providing engineers with enhanced design freedom while maintaining excellent electrical performance. Its two-contact design ensures stable and reliable connectivity, and the audible click mechanism when fully engaged gives users clear confirmation of a secure connection.
Katsuya Unesa, Product Manager for Internal Interconnect Solutions at TE Consumer Electronics, emphasized the importance of this development: “As consumer electronics continue to shrink in size, maintaining performance without compromise is essential. This new BtB connector represents a significant advancement in the industry. Its high scalability allows users to transition between different product configurations without altering the PCB layout, offering a unique and flexible solution. Additionally, the four corner solder pins can also carry signals or power, improving overall reliability. These pins are densely mounted, ensuring robust installation and maximizing space efficiency on the board.â€
Key features of the 0.35 mm fine-pitch, expandable BtB connector include:
- Compact body width of 1.85 mm for optimal PCB space savings
- Sufficient access area for standard pick-and-place nozzles
- Stack height options from 0.6 mm to 1.0 mm for versatile design
- Two-contact system for improved signal integrity and reliability
- Click mechanism for easy and visual confirmation of proper engagement
This latest addition to TE’s portfolio not only meets the evolving needs of modern electronics but also sets a new benchmark in miniaturization and performance. Whether for smartphones, wearables, or
other advanced devices, this connector is poised to become a key component in the next generation of compact, high-performance products.
