Features and Benefits

With an increasing demand for flexible and modular designs, customers seek solutions that offer vertical and right-angle orientation flexibility to optimize PCB real estate and design efficiency. As devices grow more complex and compact, maintaining tight tolerances in connector positions is crucial for performance and reliability. Industries are focusing on lean manufacturing by reducing equipment needs and handling steps to streamline production and minimize costs.

Solutions that require low investment are necessary as manufacturers face high equipment costs and process inefficiencies. Avoiding the need for additional stitching or assembly equipment helps to accelerate process timelines by boosting productivity and overall efficiency.

Flexi-Pin Stack Connectors are compatible with existing surface mount technology (SMT) pick-and-place equipment which lowers capital investment. These connectors feature unique dual-orientation design options (vertical and right angle) that reduce design constraints and increase product versatility. Flexi-Pin Stack Connectors require less manufacturing space by eliminating the need for a stitch machine station. These connectors provide high reliability under electrical and mechanical stresses.

Low Capital Investment

Flexi-Pin Stack Connectors are compatible with existing SMT pick-and-place equipment, which eliminates the need for additional stitching machines. This leads to lower investment costs, faster production cycles and simplified manufacturing processes.
