Quick Reference Guide: Stacking Connectors
http://www.tycoelectronics.com
1. Determine a range of stack heights that will meet the application requirements.
2. Determine the minimum number of signals that must pass between the two printed circuit boards (PCBs) with consideration for
power and ground.
3. Determine how much space is available for the connectors with consideration for its location. Will a traditional two-row
connector fit or will a “grid” (many rows) style product work best in the application? The largest pitch that will fit is typically chosen,
as larger pitch connectors tend to be more rugged and easier to process.
4. Determine the preferred method of attachment. Ball-Grid Array (BGA) products are a variant of surface mount that give
connector manufacturers greater co-planarity tolerance than typical surface mount leads. Other types of attachments are solder
thru-hole and press-fit thru-hole.
5. Determine the connector type, open pin field or controlled impedance, that will best fit the application. Open pin field
connectors typically do not have any pre-determined grounds and are usually used in lower speed applications. Tyco Electronics
does offer several open pin field connectors that have very good electrical performance characteristics.

Restriction on the use of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS)
At Tyco Electronics, we’re ready to support your RoHS
requirements. We’ve assessed more than 1.5 million end
items/components for RoHS compliance, and issued new
part numbers where any change was required to eliminate
the restricted materials. Part numbers in this catalog are
identified as:
RoHS Compliant — Part numbers in this catalog are
RoHS Compliant, unless marked otherwise. These products
comply with European Union Directive 2002/95/EC as
amended 1 January 2006 that restricts the use of lead,
mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE
in certain electrical and electronic products sold into the EU
as of 1 July 2006.
NOTE: For purposes of this Catalog, included within the
definition of RoHS Compliant are products that are clearly
“Out of Scope” of the RoHS Directive such as hand tools
and other non-electrical accessories.
NOTE: Information regarding RoHS compliance is provided
based on reasonable inquiry of our suppliers and represents
our current actual knowledge based on the information
provided by our suppliers. This information is subject to
change. For latest compliance status, refer to our website
referenced at right.
Getting the Information You Need
Our comprehensive on-line RoHS Customer Support Center
provides a forum to answer your questions and support your
RoHS needs. A RoHS FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is
available with links to more detailed information. You can
also submit RoHS questions and receive a response within
24 hours during a normal work week. The Support Center
also provides:
