Compression Connectors

Amphenol Communications Solutions' compression-type surface mount connectors provide power and signal connection between either two PCB modules or one PCB and an electrical module. The single-piece small footprint solution brings cost and space savings to smaller, more economical consumer electronic device designs. They offer solutions with scalable positions, contact pitch sizes, and working heights with a choice of single or double rows, adding to design flexibility. These connectors can withstand up to 50 g shock with no disruption to electrical connectivity when subject to frequent shock and vibration. For electrical performance, it features a maximum current rating of 1 A per contact, voltage rating at 250 VAC, and low-level contact resistance of less than 20 mΩ max. This product range supports storage, consumer, and communication applications. Besides adopting compression connectors in HDD applications, Amphenol designed compression connectors for in-flight internet systems, door detection in server platforms, cartridge boards for inkjet printers, and other market needs.
