Tiny hybrid board-to-FPC connectors target mobile device battery connections

Digi-Key - Tiny hybrid board-to-FPC connectors target mobile device battery connections Hirose's BM25 Series connectors are now available from Digi-Key. The tiny board-to-flexible printed circuit (FPC) connectors are designed for battery-pack connections in mobile devices. The hybrid BM25 series connectors are rated up to 9A per pin for power contacts and 1A per pin for signal contacts. With a space-saving design that offers a stacking height of only 0.7mm and a depth of 2.6mm, the low-profile BM25 series deliver twice as much current-carrying capacity in a smaller profile than traditional technologies. A six-point, highly-reliable clip-like contact structure combined with a robust eight-point metal lock provides a mating force that is resistant to intense vibration and drop impact, says the company.
