Benefits Lower cost Direct board-to-board connections with compensating misalignment (axial float ± 1.2 mm) do not only save costs compared to cable connections but rather allow larger tolerances on all other parts. Minituarization HUBER+SUHNER board-to-board connectors provide the smallest board-to-board distance (6.7 mm) in class. This enables smaller designs with less weight and provide much more space on the PCB boards This opens new possibilities for module designs without active cooling. Thanks to the unique ball joint design the connectors provide excellent return loss values over the...

Series MBX – design guideline Working range (axial and radial) In mated condition, the two PCB connector have to be aligned within the dimension given for the axial and radial working range. HUBER+SUHNER recommends using guiding pins to align the boards within the connecting range and working range. Distance holders to maintain the axial misalignment within working range are also of benefit. The axial working range is ± 1.2 mm, the radial working range is ± 1.0 mm. In contradiction to the MMBX interface, the tilt of the adaptor is limited with MBX. The great advantage of this feature is that...
