ity&utm_content=multi-row_BTB_press_release] a world leader in designing and

manufacturing interconnect and mechanical products, is successfully addressing

the growing market demand for high-density interconnects in challenging

application scenarios. The company has just released its Multi-Row

Board-to-Board (BTB)

connector product.  

Multi-Row Board-to-Board Connector

Thanks to the proprietary snap-in biscuit design, this ingenious interconnect

concept will disrupt the industry - allowing multiple connector units to be

stacked together. This means interconnections can be appropriately sized while

avoiding the need for them to be custom built. The unique cost-effective

approach which Interplex has taken will enable different pin count requirements

to be attended to via the same basic interconnect platform, without any extra

expense or engineering effort.

The new Multi-Row BTB connectors feature 0.4mm miniPLX(TM)press-fit

paign=e_mobility&utm_content=multi-row_BTB_press_release] pins, so the need for

soldering is eliminated. These pins are made from a copper alloy and exhibit

very low levels of contact resistance <1m omega. Each pin has a 3A current

carrying capability. The optional coating of these pins with the company's

patented IndiCoata„ cent plating technology mitigates tin whisker build-up, in

order to prevent the risk of short circuits and extend operational lifespan.

Interplex Multi-Row BTB connectors are available in board stacking heights from

7mm to 30mm. They can have between 1 and 6 rows, with up to 30 contact

terminals being incorporated into each row. Conforming with automotive

performance requirements, these rugged products can withstand high humidity

levels (8 hour cycling up to 10% RH), shocks (35g for 5 to 10ms across 10

axes), and vibrations (8 hour per axis). A working temperature range of -40A

Degrees C to +150A Degrees C is supported.

"Being able to fit enough interconnect terminal pins into a small space, while

not having any excess, is a priority for any of our clients. At the same time,

keeping their total cost of ownership down is also vital," explains Ralph

Semmeling, Product Portfolio Director for Customized Connectors at Interplex.

"This means that the companies we are dealing with want access to off-the-shelf

products at attractive price points, but with the inherent flexibility that

following a custom-based strategy offers. Our new stackable interconnect

platform gives them the best of both worlds. Allowing them to design to cost."  

There are a broad variety of applications that the robust, high-density,

scalable Multi-Row BTB connectors will be targeted at. Among the most prominent

of these are going to be electric vehicles (EVs), particularly for Electric

Power Steering and Electronic Control Units functions. There are also

opportunities for these connectors to be used in industrial automation systems

(as robots), transportation hardware (trains), medical instrumentation (such as

imaging scanners), etc.
