About Board to Board Connectors

Board to board connectors are used to connect printed circuit boards (PCB), electronic components that contain a conductive pattern printed on the surface of insulating base in an accurate, repeatable matter. Each terminal on a board to board connector is connected to a PCB. Products feature four basic mounting styles: through-hole technology (THT), surface mount technology (SMT), press-fit, and compression. THT mounts components on a PCB by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board. SMT adds components to a PCB by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. SMT components have a flat surface that is soldered to a flat pad on the face of the PCB. Typically, the PCB pad is coated with a paste-like formulation of solder and flux. Press-fit and compression-style board to board connectors are also commonly available.

FireWire® Connectors

IEEE 1394 connectors are used to connect FireWire^® devices such as host controllers, adapters, hard drives, hubs, repeaters, and card readers. FireWire, a registered trademark of Apple Computer, is a communications protocol for the transmission of data, video, and audio over a single cable at very high bit rates.

PC Card Connectors

PC card connectors are used to connect computer cards to computers. Examples include PC cards and CompactFlash cards.

PCB Pins and Receptacles

PCB pins and PCB receptacles are electronic interconnect devices for printed circuit boards (PCB). PCB pins are male connectors. PCB receptacles are female connectors.

PCB Terminal Blocks

PCB terminal blocks are modular, insulated devices that mount on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and secure two or more wires together. Some have integral pin terminals and mount through holes in the board. Others plug into PCB-mounted pin strips.

Wire to Board Connectors

Wire to board connectors are used to interconnect printed circuit boards (PCBs) by using connectors attached to wires.
