Mezza-pede SMT connectors now include a lower profile DHAL header that reportedly reduces board stack height by 15%. Features 0.025" insulator. When paired with mating socket model DHS, a z-axis stack height of 0.132" is achievable. Facilitates a reduction in package height and a shorter signal path in applications ranging from tunable laser power connectors in optical transceivers to handheld medical electronics. For use in 1mm pitch board-to-board and cable-to-board interconnections in high-density electronic designs. DHAL is available with 14 positions and features SMT lead frame and pin design that combines high-reliability screw-machined terminals with over-molded lead frame in a precision-molded LCP insulator. Is RoHS compliant, usable at operating temperatures from -55° to +125°C; can handle up to 1.1A current at 80°C.
