Features and Benefits

Designers need to incorporate smaller connectivity to save space in design footprints as customers look for components that can fit within tight spaces without compromising functionality. The compact design of Pico-SPOX, with its 1.50mm pitch, saves 30% more space compared to larger 2.00mm pitch connectors. This allows manufacturers to pack more functionality into smaller spaces, which is increasingly important in miniaturized consumer devices and vehicles. 
 
Designers should consider streamlining assembly processes by integrating components that have built in error prevention features, which can reduce rework costs and increase production efficiency. Pico-SPOX features polarization keys and a friction-lock design to ensure connectors are mated in the correct orientation, which helps prevent failures due to incorrect connections. This would increase overall production efficiency as customer would experience a reduction in connection errors, which reduces the rework costs. 
 
Manufacturers need to ensure product reliability in harsh environments for consistent performance. The rugged design of the Pico-SPOX connectors provides durable and reliable components that ensure fewer end-product recalls, which improves customer satisfaction.

Compact Design

Many customers face constraints related to limited space on PCBs. The compact design of Pico-SPOX, with its 1.50mm-pitch, saves 30% more space compared to larger 2.00mm connectors. This allows designers to pack more functionality into smaller spaces, which is increasingly important in miniaturized consumer devices and vehicles. For consumer devices in particular, this could result in smaller, lighter end-product features to meet customer demands for streamlined devices.

Design Flexibility

As product designs become more varied and specialized, customers need adaptable solutions that can fit multiple configurations. Pico-SPOX provides significant flexibility by offering a range of circuit options (2 to 15) and orientations (vertical and right-angle). This makes it easier for designers to integrate these connectors into a wide variety of applications, meeting diverse customer needs.

Optimizes space and enhances design flexibility on PCBs​
The friction lock mechanism, no nail function, 1.50mm fine-pitch design, and very small profile in height and length of the connectors contribute to more efficient use of space on PCBs, enabling engineers to create more compact and versatile electronic designs.​

Helps protect the mating area​
The spring-box-shaped terminal with an SMT-type plug is designed to facilitate efficient automatic assembly while ensuring that the connectors remain robust and reliable throughout their life cycle.​
