Features and Benefits
Engineers are challenged with selecting appropriate wire‑to‑board connectors early in the design process while managing multiple header styles and orientations that increase part counts and design complexity. Designers need compact modules that provide reliable current flow and electrical stability, since traditional fine‑pitch contacts compromise performance with higher resistance. Also, many connector designs require additional handling steps, slowing production and increasing cost.
Modular connector platforms are necessary for simplifying design decisions and reducing the number of parts required across a system. Connectors that optimize current flow while maintaining compact form factors provide reliable and stable electrical performance. Pick-and-place friendly designs, ideal for automated assembly workflows, help reduce manual intervention and improve throughput.
OneBlade Connectors feature a modular header design that supports both vertical and right‑angle mating options within a single platform, accelerating design selection, prototyping and qualification. Flat, blade‑style pins with a wide contact area support higher current flow with lower contact resistance than other options, improving electrical reliability and signal integrity in space‑constrained wire‑to‑board applications. OneBlade Connectors also offer a pick-and-place friendly design which eliminates the need for Kapton tape removal, streamlining automated assembly, reducing handling time and lowering overall production costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are OneBlade connectors?
OneBlade Connectors are 1.00mm-pitch connectors with a friction-locking mechanism and are available in two to eight circuits. These connectors provide a wire-to-board signal solution with a modular header design that can be used in both vertical and right-angle orientations.
What makes the OneBlade connector system modular?
OneBlade Connectors feature a universal plug design where the same header can be used in both vertical and right-angle orientations. This flexibility simplifies designs, reduces the number of parts to manage and helps lower costs, making these connectors easier and more suitable to fit into flexible design needs.
Which industries can benefit from OneBlade Connectors’ modular design?
OneBlade Connectors provide solutions for consumer electronic applications. Manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service providers involved in PCB design and fabrication processes also benefit from these modular designs as the header allows them the flexibility to stock up inventory and later utilize the connectors per their design requirements.
What applications are OneBlade Connectors best suited for?
OneBlade Connectors are well-suited for a wide range of everyday compact electronic products, including headphones, smartphones, tablets, IoT and smart devices, gaming and PC peripherals, digital door locks and CCTV camera modules, as well as industrial and robotics applications.
What makes OneBlade Connectors reliable?
OneBlade receptacles are designed so that the terminals are held in place after insertion into the housing, which prevents terminal backout. This helps with terminal retention and ensures secure and reliable connections.
What common design constraints does this product address?
OneBlade Connectors’ wide landing area eliminates the need for Kapton tape, streamlining automated SMT assembly and reducing manual labor—ideal for high‑volume appliance manufacturing lines.
Why choose OneBlade Connectors?
OneBlade Connectors’ dependable designs provide effortless assembly, deliver secure, high-current connections (avoiding terminal backouts) and offer high current inside a 1.00mm-pitch module. These connectors ensure smooth operation across all devices and are production-friendly with a streamlined bill of materials.
What is the advantage of the spacious pick-and-place area on the connector?
With a spacious pick-and-place area on the connector, no cover or Kapton tape is needed on the connector. This saves time and additional processes associated with having to remove the cover tape after SMT mounting during assembly.
What is the advantage of identical vertical and right-angle headers?
The use of common housing, nail and terminal components in a modular design enhances productivity while optimizing materials usage and component supplies.
