Open Ended Card Edge: BTB
00-9159
AVX was challenged with increasing the pin count density as well as
minimizing the size of the existing coplanar BTB card edge connector for
linear strip lighting. The current product is a 2.0mm with single contacts
that straddle the PCB to make electrical connection on both the top and
bottom side of the board. By simply changing the contacts to a double
sided configuration (separate contacts for both the top and bottom of the
PCB), AVX was able to double the pin count in the same 2.0mm pitch
with minimal to no impact on the electrical performance of the connector.
Reducing the size of the connector required a complete new design as
the target was a 4p connector with a total length of 4.0mm. To achieve
this, AVX removed the end walls and then added a center support/keying
rib to pre-align the PCB during mating. This rib the then holds the PCB
in the proper functional location.
The new family of connectors is available with contact sizes of 4, 6, 8 and
10 positions, doubling the current products range. The current rating will
be 3A for the 4p and 6p, and then drop to 2.5A for the 8p and 10p
connector. The connector supports the standard 1.6mm PCB thickness.
This new connector provides the highest density to reliably connect two
in-line PCB’s together in the most cost effective assembled solution.
More importantly, the increased pin count allows for more flexibility in
mixing and matching power and signal lines.
