The new KYOCERA AVX 9258 series spring-finger board-to-board compression contacts provide OEMs across industries with a competitive combination of flexibility, economy, performance, and durability.
KYOCERA AVX, a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components engineered to accelerate technological innovation and build a better future, released the new 9258-100 Series spring-finger board-to-board compression contacts.
Designed to provide full connector functionality in a miniature, low-profile, single-contact form factor that supports flexible PCB placement, the new 9258-100 Series spring-finger board-to-board compression contacts help OEMs across industries reduce size and costs without compromising performance.
These high-strength, UL-approved copper alloy contacts are currently available with three deflected height profiles spanning 1.00mm to 3.75mm to maximize application suitability and with up to 0.4µm of gold plating to maximize signal integrity, reliability, and durability. They’re also designed to ruggedly withstand up to 50g of shock, 2.7g of random vibration, and 2,500 mating cycles and supplied in tape and reel for easy SMT assembly. The series is rated for up to 6A, 600VACRMS or the DC equivalent, and operating temperatures extending from -40°C to +125°C.
Ideal applications include rugged, industrial handheld and portable devices, board-to-board connections in traditional power or signal applications, and ground connections between PCBs or housings.
“The new 9258-100 Series spring-finger board-to-board compression contacts provide superior flexibility and performance in a space-saving, economical single-contact form factor that reliably maintains connections even when exposed to extreme shock and vibration,” said Perrin Hardee, Product Marketing Manager, KYOCERA AVX. “They’re also the smallest spring contacts on the market for portable battery connectors.”
“These new connectors are based on our field-proven 9155 Series ultra-low-profile single compression contacts and backed by more than 30 years of experience designing and developing individual compression contacts that deliver full connector functionality and performance in a wide range of industrial, consumer, medical, automotive, and marine applications, including robotics, mobile phones, tablets, wearables, and portable glucose meters,” he continued. “So, we’re very excited to release them to market, where they’re sure to help OEMs overcome several common design challenges.”
