Flexible Stacking Solutions
Flexible stacking board to board connectors in a variety of orientations such as low profile, elevated, right-angle and pass-through, with a choice of pitch from 1.27 mm to 2.54 mm, to fit any application.
Samtec has more ways to connect two or more PCBs than any other connector company. With the industry’s largest variety of board stacking interconnects, and the most design flexibility to solve almost every design challenge, Samtec makes it easy to find the right board-to-board interconnect system. These solutions are adjustable in .005" (0.13 mm) increments with board stacking distances ranging from 1.65 mm (.065") to 48.51 mm (1.910"). They are available with 2 to 300 pins, 1 to 6 rows and a variety of orientations such as low profile, elevated, right-angle and pass-through, with a choice of pitch from 1.27 mm to 2.54 mm, to fit any application.
