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. What are the types of board-to-board connectors?

  1. Pin headers/pin headers: This is the cheapest and most common connection method, suitable for low-end, large-sized smart devices, development boards, debugging boards, etc. Its advantages are cheap, convenient, stable hard connection, strong overcurrent capacity, and convenient welding and testing. The disadvantages are large size, difficult to bend, large spacing, and it is difficult to connect hundreds of pins.
  2. High-end board-to-board plug-in: This connector is denser than pin headers and is widely used in compact products. Its advantages are a large number of pins, small size, and the ability to achieve more functions within a limited size. The disadvantages are high prices, cannot be plugged and unplugged frequently, and the structural design needs to be fixed.
  3. Thickened board-to-board connector: This connector is suitable for development boards, test boards, and large and fixed devices, such as computer case wiring. Its advantages are cheap and common, and it is very easy to connect and measure when used with pin headers. The disadvantages are large size, difficult to fix, and not suitable for mass production scenarios.
  4. FPC connector: This connector is suitable for smart hardware devices that need to take signals out of the motherboard. Its advantages are flexibility, small size, and changeable shape. It is suitable for connecting the main board with the daughter board, connecting the main board with the peripherals, and wiring that needs to be bent.

• 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. ‌Assembly steps of rectangular connectors

  ‌1. Preparation‌: Prepare a rectangular connector, a screwdriver, screws, an electric drill, a mounting plate, and a ruler.
  2. Determine the position‌: Measure the position of the rectangular connector on the mounting plate with a ruler and mark this position.
  ‌3. Drilling‌: Use an electric drill to drill a hole on the mounting plate that matches the rectangular connector.
  ‌4. Fix the connector‌: Place the rectangular connector into the drilled hole and fix it with a screw.
  ‌5. Connect the wires‌: Insert the wires into the gap of the rectangular connector, make sure the wires are inserted in place, and then fix the screws with a screwdriver to ensure that the wires are firmly connected.
  ‌6. Complete the connection‌: Insert the wire at the other end into another rectangular connector and lock it.
