BTE-080-08-L-D

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

The BTE-080-08-L-D is a rectangular mezzanine-style connector, engineered for array use, edge type. It is one of several mezzanine connectors available for board-to-board applications in high-density interconnect architectures, transmitting power, signal and data. This kind of connector integrates actuator and ejectors with housing and contacts in the same bulk, comprising main body, strips of contacts, and snap-in actuator.

The main body is usually made of insulating material where contact strips are fit, containing some angled points and there’s actuator, acting as the face of the connector. The contact strips then are designed as stiffened strips to avoid contact damage when the two connectors are mated.

The primary application field for BTE-080-08-L-D is board-to-board interconnect applications, such as server boards, laptop motherboards, testing boards and networking equipment; Also fiber optic communications equipment, CATV equipment, high-speed telecommunication equipment, etc. With low profile, designed profiles for high packing density, the BTE-080-08-L-D mezzanine connector is a favorite choice for applications when real estate is at a premium.

Working Principle

BTE-080-08-L-D is designed with dielectric material with electrical quality and good heat dissipation. The contacts for this type are composed of two standard rows and 8 pins per row, formed with three finger contact design, which is also referred to as Type B, providing a contact force up to 2.5 Newtons per pin.

The connector has an impedance of 25 Ohm for single ended, and 25 Ohm differential. The mounting type is vertical or in-line, with polarized actuator for the row identification. The extended length of the connector is 8.00mm, and the pitch between pins are 0.80mm.

As for the working principle of the connectors, when the two mating connectors are plugged in, the electrical contact between the two connectors is ensured thanks to the contact spring which is durable and flexible. Moreover, the low profile design allows the connectors to fit into tight spots where there is a need to save space.

A wide variety of BTE-080-08-L-D mezzanine connectors of different colors and sizes, from different origin, are available in the market, and they can be used for variety of purposes. Furthermore, the connectors feature a RoHS-compliant design, making them appropriate for use in systems that require compliance with the restrictions described in the RoHS directives.

In conclusion, the BTE-080-08-L-D mezzanine-style connector is a versatile and reliable product for arrayed, edge type applications in high-density interconnect architectures. Its low profile design and electrical contact between the two mating connectors make it a great choice for board-to-board applications.
