SMC even more flexible: pins, spacing, layout
No, we won’t be resting on our laurels. On the
contrary: the success of a product family heightens
the demand for further variations. Knowing ERNI
quality, users are now looking for even more connector
varieties. What that means for our designers
is more sleepless nights as they try to cover all individual
customer requests with products that offer as
great a bandwidth as possible.
The result? Male and female multipoint connectors
with further pin counts (16, 20, 32, 40) from 2009.
The total of nine SMC connector types available now
come in three heights, making continuous spacings
of anything between 8 and 20 mm possible. Our new
product for mezzanine concepts are board-to-board
adapters for 20-40 mm spacings.
Enhance current carrying capacity
The efficiency of the SMC series is not by any means
exhausted. Thanks to optimized pin configuration
and efficient heat dissipation through thicker copper
layers between connector and PCB, the current carrying
capacity has been significantly increased from
0.9 A to 1.8 A at 70 °C. That delivers a further career
boost to the successful series.
In the pipeline: MicroSMC
Like in that old cult film “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”, we
have shrunk the SMC and reduced the pin pitch from
1.27 mm to 0.8 mm. Not, of course, by mistake (as
in the film), but instead in order to offer a proven and
flexible design basis for the further miniaturization of
electronic components. Yet the critical quality characteristics
of ERNI SMC connectors have remained
the same: double-sided spring contacts, cable termination
and full SMT compatibility - and all that in
variants with 12 to 140 pins. Taken together with the
optimized current carrying capacity, we anticipate
that the MicroSMC offers comparable performance
to its big SMC brothers and sisters.
