Micro Board-to-Board Connectors

SlimStack™ is the family name for Molex's broad range of Micro SMT stacking board-to-board connectors. The family covers stack heights from 0.60mm to 20.0mm in pitch categories of 0.35 mm to 3.70 mm.

The SlimStack connectors offer system designers a wide range of flexibility to meet the tight packaging needs found in applications such as mobile phones, digital still cameras, notebook PCs, and other compact equipment. Along with various pitch and stack options, the series covers circuit size needs from 6 to 240. All versions are gold-plated (except 0.80 mm pitch) for high reliability over multiple mating cycles. Other features include durable contact design, SMT nails that provide strong board retention, and a friction locking feature for added mating retention in some products.

Micro Easy-On FFC/FPC Connectors

Molex offers a broad range of low-profile Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors for tight-packaging applications. These miniature Easy-On FFC/FPC SMT connectors come in various fine-pitch options. Push and flip-type actuators, which are pre-assembled covers, secure the connection between the FFC-FPC and the connector terminals. A broad range of ultra-low-profile SMT Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors is also available. Molex is continually developing lower-profile and higher-density features to meet the downsizing needs of electronic equipment makers.

New features recently added to Molex's microminiature Easy-On FFC/FPC connector portfolio include dual-contacts to eliminate the need to source different top and bottom contact versions, narrow width versions for further space savings and various cable tab and actuator locking styles to provide additional cable alignment and retention.

Memory Card Connectors

Molex provides one of the industry’s widest ranges of connectors for today’s miniature memory cards. With the demand for exchanging images and data between portable devices and PCs growing, a number of flash memory industry standards have emerged. Molex offers a solution to all of the major types of flash memory media.

Our range includes industry standard versions with features such as normal/reverse mounting, various card insertion systems, and profile heights. Custom solutions are also offered to meet unique design needs, such as combo-style connectors.

Molex’s proven expertise in areas such as fine-pitch micro connectors and PC Card technology have helped in the development of some of the most innovative and dependable miniature memory card connectors.
