Hermaphroditic Blade and Receptacle Connector

The Hermaphroditic Blade and Receptacle connector is a new SMT connector designed for in-line board-to-board applications. Its unique hermaphroditic design allows a single part to mate with itself, simplifying inventory and placement. This connector offers horizontal and vertical mating capabilities, with articulation from 90 to 180. It is tape and reel packed for high-speed SMT processes and features a low-profile flat surface compatible with SMT and reflow processing, including rounded corners to minimize shadowing and redundant SMT pads. The solder pad footprint is compatible with Tyco Electronics SMT Poke-In LED connectors.
