Interface arrays enable handheld device and docking station interconnection

Coda Systems has released its latest Swift-Dock connector assemblies for docking stations. The company now offers three ranges of spring-loaded interface arrays that are ideal for power and data transfer in devices such as handheld computers, medical instruments, data loggers and telecoms equipment. Swift-Dock has a pitch of 7mm, whereas Swift-Dock-mini is available on a 3mm pitch. Both families are available in two, three, four, five and six pin configurations and can handle X[NF1] A. Each unit comes as a pair of complete arrays ready-fitted with spring-loaded contacts on one side and contact lands on the other although each side is available separately. The PCB can be supplied with or without a connector. Swift-Dock-Power has been designed for use in applications up to 10A. These are also available in in two, three, four, five and six pin configurations on a 7mm pitch.
