The Coplanar 70-9159 series 2-piece Coplanar-linear Single Contact offers the smallest profile while still supporting full 5A capability. The 1-piece version offers the best cost advantage for a connectorized solution, yet has limitations in LED pitch densities. Connectors interrupt this requirement at each board-to-board interface. By design and construction, providing a single contact connector is not economical. By removing the insulator and allowing contacts to be placed individually, the PCB can be designed with the LEDs in the centre of the PCB and the contacts on the outer edges. This optimizes the design for functionality and assembly at the best cost possible. The contacts are packaged in T and R for automatic placement, absorb significant x and y assembly tolerances and provide a reliable gold-to-gold active contact interface. Application notes are available to outline all of the contact configurations to support both BTB and WTB applications.
