Low-Profile Cable Connectors have 0.4 mm contact pitch.
Press Release Summary:
Available with FPC Type and Wire Type plugs, connector employs 2-point contact structure for resistance to vibration and repeated mating cycles while securing 0.6 mm-long effective joint area. While 0.4 mm contact pitch and 1.5 mm profile (mounted) conserve space and allow for high-density mounting, vertically mated and top-loaded connectors eliminate need for additional space to insert plug. Also, plug dimensions of 1.2 x 2 mm enable connector to run through 3 mm dia hinge hole.
Original Press Release:
Yokowo Low-Profile Cable Connectors, Smallest Contact Pitch
Arlington Heights, IL - (March 4, 2009) Measuring just 0.4mm, the contact pitch of Yokowo's vertical cable connector is the smallest in the industry. The pitch and a low profile of 1.5 mm (when mounted) save space and allow for high-density mounting. In addition, vertically mated, top-loaded connectors eliminate the need for additional space to insert the plug. An extremely small plug dimension of 1.2 x 2mm enables the connector to run through a 3mm diameter hinge hole.
Two types of plugs are offered from Yokowo - an FPC Type and a Wire Type. The receptacle is compatible with both. A double-sided FPC Type is available for high-speed signal transmission and to prevent EMI (electromagnetic interference). To further control EMI waves, A GND shield connection for the FPC Type is possible without soldering. The Wire Type allows for a solderless connection with a thin cable of AWG #38 to #36 (0.24 diameter including the coating).
The unique two-point contact structure of Yokowo's connector improves resistance to vibration and the number of times mating can be repeated, while securing a 0.6mm-long effective joint area.
Yokowo offers a range of sizes, from stock and made-to-order, to meet the strict demands of a variety of applications. Some application possibilities include cellular, radio, medical, consumer electronics and aerospace for battery, speaker or RF device connections.
