Features and Benefits

There is a growing demand for miniaturization, requiring design engineers to deliver greater power and functionality within increasingly compact PCB spaces, pushing connector designs to their limits. With ultra compact hybrid power (up to 20.0A) and signal contacts, ChargeStack Connectors are integrated within a small footprint, enabling higher functionality and power in thinner devices.

Design engineers also seek dependable connector housings for secure mating and stable contacts as devices face high vibration and frequent drops, especially in miniaturized form factors where housings are fragile. This challenge is addressed by the dual contact structure of ChargeStack Connectors, as well as their sufficient wiping length, ensuring stable mating even under vibration and drop conditions. This improves connection reliability, resulting in reduced downtime by helping prevent signal loss and intermittent power failures.

As the need for harsh-environment durability grows, designers require connectors with a robust mechanical design. ChargeStack Connectors feature full metal armor and over-molding that protects the housing from breakage during mating and drops. This robust design reduces connector failures and warranty costs, improving product durability in harsh, vibration-prone environments.

Miniaturization for PCB Space Savings

ChargeStack Connectors combine ultra compact hybrid power and signal contacts in a small footprint, enabling higher functionality and power in thinner devices. This miniaturization helps save PCB real estate, allowing for more semiconductors and chips to be placed on the board.

Offers increased space savings on PCB
The miniaturized board-to-board design of the connectors reduces the connector size, saving valuable space on the PCB. This enables thinner assemblies and allows more semiconductors and chips to be mounted on the PCB.

Supports fast charging requirements
These connectors support 10.0 and 20.0A separately through dedicated terminals, which minimizes temperature rise and reduces power loss, thereby ensuring optimal electrical performance.

Helps reduce the failure rate caused by broken and damaged housings
Featuring full metal armor and a fully overmolded structure, these connectors protect the housing and enhance mechanical robustness.

Improves efficiency and device safety
The high-power delivery of the connectors with low level contact resistance reduces heat generation and power loss, ensuring efficient energy transfer and prolonging connector lifespan.

Provides stable and proper mating conditions
The connectors’ dual-contact design and sufficient wiping length increase tolerance to harsh environmental stresses and maintain reliable electrical contact by effectively cleaning the contact surfaces.
