The silicone rubber supports create a larger base width and eliminate the need to install a separate holder. The connectors are available in a multitude of widths to accommodate LCDs with a minimum glass lip overhang of 0.060”/1.5mm.
The carbon-based ZEBRA connectors can be ordered with 140, 240 or 500 conductive layers per inch and provide a current carrying capacity of .050mA per .040x.040” pad.
The physical characteristics of the sponge dramatically reduce bowing of the PCB due to the minimal force required to make full electrical contact. This also makes the product suitable for severe shock and vibration applications commonly found in hand-held devices.
