LD connectors improved performance and
reliability
The latest in Tyco Electronics' Stax range of elastomeric connectors, Stax LD connectors are claimed to deliver improved electrical performance, reliability and durability.
The latest in Tyco Electronics' Stax range of elastomeric connectors, Stax LD connectors are claimed to deliver improved electrical performance, reliability and durability compared to other elastomeric connectors on the market Tyco also believes the new connectors provide higher conductivity and line consistency to enable tighter pitch applications, while requiring less deflection force

Providing the designer with a cost-effective solution to power distribution, the Ampower Wave Crimp system is based on insulated flat copper cable in strip form and a novel termination technique.
Modular control switches and indicating units
Tyco Electronics is offering a wide range of modular control switches and indicating units, under the Alcoswitch brand.
Consequently, they are suited to the demands of today's market for smaller, denser connection with thinner PCBs said the company.
Stax LD connectors have a typical resistance of 0.035 ohms per connection with circuit pads of 0.5mm width on 1.0mm pitch at a typical board spacing of 2.5mm.
Resistance is said to be stable through extended life tests, including thermal cycling with humidity and mixed flowing gases.
The connectors exhibit 15 per cent to 20 per cent reduction in deflection force compared with previous Stax connector generations and are specified to operate from -40 Celsius to 125 degrees Celsius.
Claimed to be able to accommodate both analogue and digital signals, the elastomeric connectors are effective at high signal speeds, and provide minimal signal distortion at high frequencies.
The use of a redundant contact system enables a single connector element to carry both analogue and digital signals on the same connector.
By increasing the size of the specific contact pads, analogue signals can be placed adjacent to digital signals.
Designers are thus able to reduce the length of the elastomer used and minimise the overall footprint of the interconnect said Tyco. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics UK ...
