Board-To-Board Connector targets portable electronics.
Press Release Summary:
Designed with 0.4 mm pitch and 1.0 mm stacking height, Series 5805 employs twin-rib-shaped plug side contact that eliminates foreign obstacles from interfering with contacts. Fine lock mechanism with firm clicking response ensures secure termination. Connector allows users to check conductivity and short circuits under mated conditions. Since no metal is exposed on bottom of connector, Series 5805 is suitable for high-density packages.

AVX Designs Low-Profile 5805 Series Board-To-Board Connector for Portable Electronics Market
Connector allows user to check conductivity and short-circuits under mated conditions...
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (November 9, 2005) - AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnects, has developed a low-profile, board-to-board connector designed specifically for miniature and handheld portable equipment applications. Designated the 5805 series, the connector has a 0.4mm pitch and a 1.0mm stacking height.
"The 5805 series connector is ideal for applications where the market demands smaller and thinner end products," said Rick Vandermolen, AVX Product Manager. "The connector features a unique KEC, S-shaped spring for the spring structure, giving the 5805 a very low profile."
A double-sided contact structure adopted for mating lock enhances the components resistance to vibration and drop shock. The 5805 series employs a twin-rib-shaped plug side contact that eliminates foreign obstacles, such as splash flux, from interfering with the contacts, improving the contact reliability. A fine lock mechanism with firm clicking response ensures a secure termination and also increases the retention force when connectors are unmated.
The 5805 board-to-board connector allows users to easily check conductivity and short-circuits in the connector under mated condition by offering a test connector that is able to withstand a large number of mating cycles.
Because no metal is exposed on the bottom of the connector, the 5805 series is suitable for high-density package.
Connectors with or without the boss are available. Pricing typically starts at $0.60 each in quantities of 10,000 with a lead time of eight weeks.
