Definition of Board-to-Board Connectors

A board-to-board connector is an electrical connector that connects two circuit boards and is used to establish an electrical and mechanical connection between two independent printed circuit boards (PCBs). They are often used in applications that require high-density signal and power transmission to achieve reliable transmission of signals and power between circuit boards.

Types of Board-to-Board Connectors

There are many types of board-to-board connectors, mainly including:

1. Dual In-line Package (DIP) : Used for connection between two parallel circuit boards.
2. Single or double row in-line plug-in : suitable for different space and connection density requirements.
3. Stacked : used for applications where multiple circuit boards are stacked.
4. High-density pluggable : provides high-density and high-frequency connections, suitable for high-speed data transmission.
5. Rectangular connector : commonly used for mixed transmission of power and signals.

Design Considerations

When selecting and designing board-to-board connectors, the following factors need to be considered:

1. Electrical performance : including current capacity, signal integrity, plug-in and pull-out times, etc.
2. Mechanical properties : connector size, insertion and extraction force, durability, etc.
3. Environmental conditions : operating temperature, humidity, vibration and shock resistance, etc.
4. Compatibility : Is the connector compatible with existing boards and systems?
5. Cost : Purchase and maintenance cost of the connector.
