“Due to its ultra low-profile and small form factor, our reliable 5846 Series board-to-board connectors significantly reduce installation costs in space-sensitive applications,” said Mark Jarman, KEC Product Marketing Manager. “Saving up to 20% of board space, the innovative design provides engineers with a flexible, high-performance device that is well-suited for the European market.”
The 5846 Series connectors are ideal for a number of space-saving board applications, including laptop computers, wireless handheld devices, POS terminals and metering, RF module, handheld test equipment and medical electronics.
The board-to-board connector employs a Twin Rib contact structure that wipes the contacts clean, during every mating cycle, while at the same time providing low insertion force with a high retention and separation force. The 5846 Series connectors are available in 20 to 80 positions with a positive mating contact with audible and tactile “click” feedback. The standard 0.5mm pitch contacts feature a gold flash finish for higher reliability soldering. Technical drawings of the FFC/FPC shape are also available upon request.
Other specifications include 0.3A rated contact current, 50V rated contact voltage, gold plated beryllium copper contacts, UL94V-0 heat-resistant insulator material, and an operating temperature range between -40C to 85C.
