The AVX 5846 series of low-profile board-to-board connectors feature a small form factor of 3.0mm stacking height with a 0.4mm pitch contact. The connectors provide increased board space for high-density power components placed between PCBs.

The rugged board-to-board connectors are constructed in a pinched contact structure and feature a fully insulated bottom plate that protects the contacts, making the device highly resistant to vibration, drop shock, and short-circuits in respect to printed tracks on the PCB.

The 5846 Series connectors are ideal 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 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.

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 -40ºC to 85ºC.

Pricing typically starts at $0.40 with a lead time of 10 weeks.
