Free Whitepaper: Floating Connector Technology for Engineers

Harwin has announced the availability of a technical paper that explores how engineers can implement robust floating board-to-board interconnects for high-performance data and power connectivity. This whitepaper addresses the challenges posed by high-speed automated manufacturing on quality and reliability.

Available for free download from the Harwin website, the ‘Floating Board-to-Board Connectors’ whitepaper is a vital resource for engineers working with multiple, high-density, small form-factor board-to-board connections between PCBs. Key topics include:

• Challenges of Modern ‘Pick-and-Place’ Systems: The whitepaper discusses alignment issues in automated systems and their impact on manufacturing and operational life.
• Innovative Floating Connectors: Introduction to floating connectors featuring a spring-like suspension mechanism to absorb misalignments and small movements in multiple axes.
• Benefits in High-Speed PCB Production: Explanation of how floating connectors minimise misalignment, supporting high-speed production and enhancing shock and vibration resistance.
• Application Suitability: Detailed discussion on applications best suited to floating connectors.
• Technical Specifications: Comprehensive overview of the latest floating connector technologies.
