Modifications and Options
The flexible elastomeric
manufacturing process
allows a fast, easy modification
of the products to
suit the individual needs of
the application. Typically
with an elastomer-only
solution there is no tooling.
There are requirements for
minimum production volume.
Dual-Row STAX Connector connects two rows of contact pads. Retention slot is provided in PCB separator.
Elastomeric Connectors are
viable in most applications
where traditional board-toboard
connectors are used.
The applications may
include high speed, power,
digital, grounding/shielded
interconnect.
The elastomer is a single
piece compression technology.
The silicone within the
connector provides the
normal force (spring). The
conductive layers (blend of
silicone and silver particles)
make redundant electrical
contact to the pads on the
board.
The STAX LD technology is
based upon 30 years of
experience in manufacturing
and in the hundreds of
millions of connectors used
in trouble-free applications.
This is a low durometer and
low contact resistance
product.
Tyco Electronics maintains
complete control over the
quality and performance of
the product. The STAX
product line is manufactured
from basic raw materials
(silver or gold, and
silicone) using a proprietary
manufacturing process.
The result is a connector
technology that allows the
freedom of design without
the traditional limitations of
standard product availability.
There is no need to
compromise the end product
at the design stage.
Mechanically, the elastomeric
capabilities are
flexible. The technology
can meet PCB area requirements
in applications of
board separations under
8.00mm. Electrically, resistance
and current ratings
are competitive with most
alternative technologies.
