Link Technology

Board to board connectors are divided into different types based on the different connection methods between circuit boards, each with its own characteristics.

What are the characteristics of board to board connectors

Firstly, row pin and row pin, also known as row insertion, are the cheapest and most common connection methods. Application scenarios: low-end, large-sized intelligent devices, development boards, debugging boards, etc. Advantages: Cheap, convenient, stable hard connection, strong overcurrent capacity, convenient for wire welding and testing. Disadvantages: Large volume, difficult to bend, large spacing, making it difficult to connect hundreds of pins (too large).

Secondly, FPC connector insertion/ZIF connector Many intelligent hardware devices require the signal to be pulled out of the motherboard. FPC is flexible, small in size, and versatile in shape, making it a great choice. Usage scenarios: connection between motherboard and sub board, connection between motherboard and peripherals, curved wiring, and compact product space. Advantages: Compact and inexpensive.

Thirdly, thickened board to board connectors, board to board, board to line, can be disassembled, merged, and inserted into the pins. Usage scenario: Development board, test board, large and fixed equipment (such as computer chassis wiring) Advantages: cheap, common, easy to connect and measure when paired with pin arrangement Disadvantages: large volume, difficult to fix, not suitable for mass production scenarios.

Fourthly, high-end board to board insertion is more dense than pin placement, and is often used in compact products. Application scenario: Most conventional intelligent hardware products are in use and are widely used. Advantages: With a large number of pins and a small size, it can accommodate up to 40 feet in a length of 1 centimeter (less than 20 rows of the same size can be inserted). Disadvantages: expensive, cannot be frequently plugged in and out, and the structural design needs to be fixed properly.
