Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)

Category Introduction

Rectangular header type connectors are designed to connect circuits on one PCB to circuits on another providing insulation and board spacing. They are selected by pitch (distance between pin centers), stack height, and the number of positions and rows. They are typically soldered in place, with surface mount and through-hole versions available in gold, tin and tin-lead options.

About Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)

What are Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)?

Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)

Rectangular connectors, specifically board spacers and stackers, are essential components in the realm of board-to-board interconnections. These connectors are designed to physically and electrically connect two printed circuit boards (PCBs) while maintaining a precise distance between them. This spacing is crucial for ensuring proper airflow, thermal management, and component clearance. The basic operating principle involves aligning and securing the connectors on each board, allowing for a stable and reliable connection that facilitates signal transmission and power distribution between the boards.

Types of Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)

1. Fixed Spacers

Fixed spacers are designed to maintain a constant distance between two PCBs. They are typically used in applications where the spacing requirement is predetermined and does not need adjustment. These spacers are often made from materials like nylon, brass, or aluminum, providing durability and stability.

2. Adjustable Stackers

Adjustable stackers offer flexibility in spacing, allowing users to modify the distance between boards as needed. This adaptability is beneficial in prototyping and applications where board configurations may change. They often feature a threaded design, enabling precise adjustments.

3. Snap-Lock Spacers

Snap-lock spacers provide a quick and secure method for connecting boards. They feature a locking mechanism that snaps into place, ensuring a firm connection without the need for additional hardware. This type is ideal for applications requiring frequent assembly and disassembly.

4. Insulating Spacers

Insulating spacers are used when electrical isolation between boards is necessary. They are typically made from non-conductive materials, preventing electrical interference and ensuring safety in sensitive electronic applications.

How to choose Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)?

When selecting board spacers and stackers, several key parameters should be considered:

  • Material: Choose based on the application's thermal and mechanical requirements. Common materials include nylon, brass, and aluminum.
  • Height: Determine the required spacing between boards to ensure proper airflow and component clearance.
  • Adjustability: Decide if fixed or adjustable spacers are needed based on the application's flexibility requirements.
  • Electrical Insulation: Consider insulating spacers if electrical isolation is necessary.
  • Environmental Factors: Evaluate the operating environment, including temperature, humidity, and exposure to chemicals, to select appropriate materials and designs.
  • Supplier Evaluation: Assess product quality and reliability by reviewing supplier certifications, customer reviews, and testing standards.

Installation requirements should also be considered, ensuring compatibility with existing board layouts and ease of assembly.

Applications of Rectangular Connectors - Board Spacers, Stackers (Board to Board)

1. Consumer Electronics

In consumer electronics, these connectors are used to stack PCBs in compact devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops, optimizing space while ensuring reliable connections for data and power transmission.

2. Telecommunications

Telecommunications equipment often requires multiple PCBs to be connected in a confined space. Board spacers and stackers facilitate efficient use of space while maintaining signal integrity in devices such as routers and switches.

3. Automotive Industry

In automotive electronics, these connectors are crucial for connecting control modules and sensor boards, ensuring robust performance in harsh environments with high vibrations and temperature variations.

4. Industrial Automation

Industrial automation systems rely on these connectors to link control boards and interface modules, providing reliable connections in environments with high electromagnetic interference and mechanical stress.

5. Aerospace and Defense

In aerospace and defense applications, board spacers and stackers are used in avionics and communication systems, where reliability and precision are paramount under extreme conditions.
