PCB connector

With the Smash connector range, Amphenol provides a reliable solution for SEM form E factor modules.

Its modular design provides up to 450 contacts, with bays containing 150 contacts and high density: 1.905 x 1.905 mm in herringbone or staggered row layouts.

The connectors are resistant to harsh environments due to the use of a liquid crystal polymer thermoplastic and provide a wide temperature range of -65 to 150 °C.

The resistance shown by sawtooth impacts is 100 G/6 ms and its resistance to sinusoidal vibrations is 15 G with tolerance of micro-discontinuities not exceeding 2 ns. High random vibration levels have also been reached (resonance of 100 G), without impairing product performance.

Resistance to high temperatures means lead-free brazing (manual or fusing) toleration. The surface treatment of its terminals and the units as a whole comply with the RoHS directives and they are compatible with press-fit boards.

The average current per contact is 3 to 5 A (with a maximum of 50 A).
