Zero8 Board-to-Board Connector in SMT

The SMT PCB connectors of the Zero8 series reliably connect PCBs with data transfer rates up to 16 Gbps.

Place your trust in reliable contacting, even under difficult operating conditions and challenges such as vibrations and shock! At the same time, you’ll enjoy the full flexibility that the plug connector system’s scalability provides with respect to the number of contacts, board-to-board spacing and orientation, as well as optional EMC shielding.

Unlike conventional SMD connectors that establish contacting through a blade contact and a spring contact, our shielded Zero8 PCB connector has a blade contact and also a spring contact on each pair of connectors (plug or socket). With this reliable connection technology, this connector in 0.8 mm pitch ensures double contacting on a single pin and establishes high redundancy and thus maximum contact reliability. As a result, the gender-neutral contact system ensures safe, robust and gas-tight contacting despite external influences such as shocks, vibrations, thermal cycles and noxious gas. With a very high tolerance compensation of 0.4 mm when mated, the gender-neutral contact system of the Zero8 connector thus has a floating functionality and makes the connector particularly scalable.

The geometry of the insulating housing is also designed in such a way that the contacts are submerged in the insulating body and are thus protected in such a way that damage to the contacts becomes virtually impossible. In addition, the geometry reliably prevents the contacts from being mated incorrectly.
