News Release from: GTK
23/08/2006

To minimise stacking height in mobile devices, GTK has launched Microstak - a miniature plug-and-socket SMT connector for interfacing stacked PCBs in mobile phone handsets, notebook PCs, PDAs, pagers and other small mobile devices.

With a pitch size of 0.8mm, devices offer three socket options – 3.55, 5.05, and 6.05mm. Microstak connectors include board location pegs to assist positioning by automated pick-and-place machines. All are supplied in tube format, while those up to 30-way are available as tape-and-reel. Pin configurations from 10- to 100-way can be specified.

Parts are constructed from Nylon 6T UL94V-0 high-temperature plastic and withstand reflow and other surface mount processes. All devices are RoHS-compliant.
