Analysis of key performance indicators, precise selection of board to board connectors

In the current market, there are many types of board to board connectors. So, when selecting board to board connectors, what performance indicators should we focus on?

1、 Consideration of spacing
With the development of electronic devices towards miniaturization and precision, the contact spacing of board to board connectors is also gradually decreasing. However, the reduction in spacing means the complexity of production processes and an increase in costs. Therefore, in the selection of spacing, reasonable decisions should be made based on actual needs to avoid blindly pursuing the minimum spacing. TXGA board to board connectors offer a spacing range of 0.35mm to 2.54mm, flexibly meeting the application needs of various customers.

2、 Electrical Performance Review
The electrical performance of board to board connectors is crucial for ensuring the normal operation of equipment, including parameters such as current, voltage, contact resistance, and insulation resistance. Especially in high-power equipment, special attention should be paid to the current limitation of the connector to ensure safe and stable working conditions.

3、 Environmental adaptability assessment
Different application environments pose different challenges to board to board connectors. Its environmental performance includes temperature resistance, moisture resistance, salt spray resistance, and vibration resistance. For example, in humid environments, connectors with excellent moisture and salt spray resistance should be selected to prevent metal contact corrosion; In the field of industrial control, attention should be paid to the anti vibration and anti impact performance of connectors. Floating board to board connectors may be a more suitable choice to ensure the service life of connectors in vibration environments.

4、 Mechanical performance testing
The mechanical performance of board to board connectors, such as insertion force and insertion life, directly affects the reliability and durability of the connectors. These performance indicators are key factors in ensuring stable connection of the connector during long-term use.

When selecting board to board connectors, multiple factors such as spacing, electrical performance, environmental adaptability, and mechanical performance should be comprehensively considered to select the high-quality product that best meets the application requirements.
