TE Connectivity Miniature Hermaphroditic Connectors

TE Connectivity's (TE) Miniature Hermaphroditic Connectors are designed to provide power between adjacent linear printed circuit boards. The SMT mini hermaphroditic connectors allow LED-printed circuit board strips to be joined with more flexibility than with traditional pin and socket SMT headers. These connectors are available in two-, four- and six-position hermaphroditic versions for lighting, data, and control connections. These board-to-board connectors are ideal for use in compact spaces with features designed for vacuum pick and place that make them suitable for high-volume automated manufacturing. TE Miniature Hermaphroditic Connectors are also available with selective gold plating, which is suitable for harsh environments where moisture and high vibration may be present.
