Quick Reference Guide
Compressive Board-to-Board Connectors
Compressive Board-to-Board (BTB) connectors are the low cost, high reliability and high design flexibility con-
nectors, which are used to provide either power or signal connections between two printed circuit boards
(PCBs) or one PCB and the other electrical modules. This product series is used to save cost and space in con-
sumer electronic devices which continue to get smaller, thinner and less expensive.TE Connectivity’s ( TE )
one-piece compressive BTB connector enables connections to a (locally) gold-plated secondary board by com-
pression of the contacts. It is also scalable in a number of positions, height and pitch.
Key Features
Provides both power and signal connections with
a small form factor.
Use as a connection for stacking applications
between PCB and various solutions such as FPC,
electrical modules, speakers and motors.
Provides single row and dual row contact design
for di erent applications.
Various options for di erent working heights, pin
counts and contact pitch.
Up to 2.0 Amp current rating for certain P/N.
Accommodates soldering and pick-and-place
using standard equipment.
Applications
