Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)) are the key components of rectangular connectors. Plate gasket is a kind of thin sheet material placed between the contact surfaces of rectangular connectors, which is mainly used to strengthen the tightness and stability between connectors and protect the connector contact surface from damage. A stack connector (board-to-board) is a form of rectangular connector specifically designed to connect two or more circuit boards, usually with a multi-layer structure that allows boards to be stacked vertically and electrically connected through the connector. Board-to-board connectors transmit signals and power from one board to another via pins or terminals inside them, enabling tight integration and efficient communication between boards.

Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)) are widely used in many fields such as communications, computers, automotive electronics, consumer electronics and industrial automation. In the communications industry, they are used for interboard connections for high-speed backplane connectors, switches, routers and other devices. In the computer field, it is commonly used in the internal board connection of servers, workstations, laptops and other devices to improve the overall system performance. In automotive electronics, it is used to establish a reliable electrical connection between the ECU, sensors and actuators to ensure the smooth operation of the vehicle control system.

• 1. Application of board-to-board connector?

  1. Internal connection of electronic devices: Board-to-board connectors can be used to connect electronic boards with different functions together to realize complex electronic devices. For example, in a smartphone, various circuit boards such as the main board, display board, and camera module can be connected together through board-to-board connectors to achieve functional integration and coordination.
  2. Modular design: Board-to-board connectors support modular design, allowing different modules to be developed and assembled independently, thereby improving production efficiency and maintenance convenience. This is very useful in many industries, including consumer electronics, industrial automation, and medical equipment.
  3. Signal transmission: Board-to-board connectors can be used to transmit a variety of signals, including data, audio, video, and control signals. For example, in high-definition televisions or surveillance cameras, board-to-board connectors can be used to transmit high-quality video signals to ensure clear image transmission.
  4. High-speed communication: High-speed communication is essential in modern electronic devices. Board-to-board connectors support high-speed communication standards such as USB, HDMI, and DisplayPort to achieve fast data transmission and high-resolution image display.
  5. Power transmission: Board-to-board connectors can not only transmit signals, but also power. They are used in electronic devices to connect different power boards, such as power adapters and batteries, to ensure a stable power supply.
  6. Mechanical support: Board-to-board connectors provide not only electrical connections, but also mechanical support. They can stably fix the position of electronic boards and reduce the impact of mechanical vibration on the connection.
  7. Reliability and durability: Board-to-board connectors are usually designed to be durable and reliable structures that can withstand vibration, temperature changes and mechanical stress that may occur during the normal operation of electronic equipment.
  8. High-density connection: As electronic equipment becomes increasingly miniaturized, board-to-board connectors allow high-density connections in limited space, achieving more compact designs.

• 2. What are the types of rectangular connectors?

  ‌Pin-type rectangular connector: This is the most common type of rectangular connector. The metal pin is inserted into the interface hole and rotated to tighten to achieve conductive connection.
  ‌Snap-on rectangular connector: It is fixed with self-locking mechanisms such as spring sheets or clips and is suitable for use in vibration environments.
  ‌Patch-type rectangular connector (SMT type): Suitable for use in surface mount technology (SMT), convenient and fast.
  ‌Board-to-board rectangular connector: Mainly used for the interconnection of board-level and system-level circuits, with high-density connection, low plug-in and pull-out times, and easy maintenance.
  ‌Wire-to-board rectangular connector‌: Suitable for connecting signals and power inside the device, can withstand environments such as high current and high temperature, and has the advantages of easy installation and convenient maintenance.
  How to install a rectangular connector

• 3. Precautions for installing rectangular connectors

  Make sure all screws are tightened to prevent the connector from loosening.
  When wiring, pay attention to the positive and negative poles of the wires to avoid connecting them incorrectly.
  During the assembly process, avoid damaging the mating surface of the connector to avoid affecting the electrical performance.
  Ensure the working environment is clean to prevent dust and impurities from entering the connector.
