MicroStac - 0.8 mm Subminiature Connector System for SMT

The MicroStac connector series is a hermaphroditic design. The connector and the counter connector are identical, and the typical subdivisions of male- and female-multipoint connectors are omitted. Nevertheless, ERNI discovered a way to implement two contact points (similar to double female contact). The design calls for fast, fully automatic SMT assembly. We use the tilt-proof contact principle by way of dual-side positioning of the contact on the circuit board. In addition, we use the very low weight, as well as the insulator body-integrated grip surface, for the vacuum pipette and the tape-and-reel packaging.
