Features and Benefits
As the demand for smaller components rises, engineers are challenged to meet the requirements for high performance in compact designs. Quad-Row Connectors deliver up to 3.0A in a fine pitch, low-profile design. These connectors meet today’s miniaturization demands without sacrificing performance.
Quad-Row Connectors also support standard SMT processes and feature an armored and overmolded nail with interior cover, providing a robust package and preventing damage to the connectors. This allows for easy operability, avoiding the risk of connector damage during the mating process.
For efficient processing, device manufacturers seek high-volume production capabilities. Quad-Row Connectors are packaged in large reel size, facilitating increased manufacturing efficiency and boosting productivity.
