Robust 0.8mm-pitch board-to-board connectors from JAE Europe feature a strong mating-guide structure suitable for rack and panel mounting; they also employ a non-pin-type structure to withstand twists caused by mating. The KX24/25 series connectors save weight, space and fixing challenges, says the company. Five widths are available from 80 to 180 positions in vertical and horizontal versions, allowing designers to reduce PCB dimensions or increase use of board-edge space. The connectors feature through-hole mounting, with long contact stroke for high reliability, and produce an audible click when mated. Contact rating is 0.5A per pin, and the connectors are suitable for operation from -40 to +80°C.
