New Mezza-pede™ 1mm low profile SMT connector system

According to the company, the screw-machined, low-profile Mezza-pede Connector system is especially suited for high reliability applications such as providing power to a tunable laser since this connector passes mixed flowing gas (MFG) tests, ensuring continuous performance in the field.

New Mezza-pede™ 1mm SMT Connectors from Advanced Interconnections Corp. are designed for 1mm pitch micro board-to-board and flex cable-to-board applications.

  • A mated height of only 4mm.
  • Suitability for mezzanine board applications where z-axis space is a constraint. A patented pin and lead frame design that is fully surface-mountable.
  • Screw-machined terminals with multi-finger contacts with a per contact current rating of greater than 1 Amp @ 80ºC.
  • An over-molded lead frame that seals the surface mount pins to prevent solder wicking and ensures a solid solder joint at the PCB level.
  • Precision molding from high temperature LCP.
  • RoHS compliance.
  • 2-piece connector system that is fully compatible with lead-free solder profiles.
  • Standard sizes including dual row 8- and 14-position models with other pin counts and optional enhancements such as shrouds for polarized mating available on a customized basis.
  • Availability of a thru-hole header is also available.
  • Packaging in tape and reel for automated assembly.
