Elastiboot Connectors
for Microphones
Features
Boot and STAX elastomeric
connector are together as one
inseparable piece.
Elastiboot allows microphone
to be provided as an assembly
complete with acoustic boot
and STAX compression-style
connector.
Large deflection range of
5 thru 50 %.
Standard Elastiboots available
for smaller industry-standard
leadless microphones of 4.0
and 6.0 mm diameter.
Elastiboot uses reliable,
superior performing Tyco
Electronics STAX elastomeric
compression connectors.
Custom, application specific
designs can be created.

The Tyco Electronics line of Elastiboot connectors combines an elastomeric connector with an
acoustic grommet or “boot” for industry standard 4.0 and 6.0 mm diameter leadless microphones.
In a continued effort to lower the cost of hand-held electronic devices, high volume manufacturers
are looking for value added sub-assemblies from their component suppliers.
Elastiboot connectors from the Tyco Electronics Elastomeric Technologies product line fill this
need by providing ease of assembly in connecting small form-factor microphones to host PCBs.
Elastiboots combine the connector with the acoustic grommet (or “boot”) to create a one-piece,
orientation free subassembly.
Elastiboot connectors make assembly of microphones into portable electronic devices economical
and robust.
■ Microphone is placed into
Elastiboot connector.
■ Elastiboot/Microphone as-
sembly is placed in cavity in
front housing of mobile unit.
■ Makes blind-mate connec-
tion to concentric-ring pads
on PC Board during final
assembly of unit.
■ Concentric-ring pad layouts
allow for orientation-free
assembly.
■ Elastiboot connector cap-
tures microphone while
providing electrical connec-
tion and acoustic sealing.
