Board-to-board connector


Board-to-board connectors are used to connect printed circuit boards, electronic components that contain a conductive pattern printed on the surface of the insulating base in an accurate and repeatable manner. Each terminal on a BTB connector is connected to a PCB.
A BTB connector includes housing and a specific number of terminals. The terminal is made from a conductive material, and plated to improve conductivity and antirust. Terminals transmit the current/signal between PCBs connected by BTB; the housing is made of insulating material.

Classification

BTB connectors are divided up into four mounting types:
  1. Through-hole technology
  2. Surface-mount technology
  3. Plug-in technology
  4. Solderless stacking mezzanine technology
BTB connectors are selected by considering the mounting method, pin pitch, number of the rows, pin length, stacker height etc.
