STAX LD Elastomeric Connectors
Surface-to-Surface Compression Connection for Board Stacking Applications
Elastomeric connectors are
viable in most applications
where traditional board-board
connectors are used. The
applications may include high
speed, power, digital, ground-
ing/shielded interconnect.
The elastomer is a single piece
compression technology. The
silicone within the connector
provides the normal force
(spring). The conductive layers
(blend of silicone and silver
particles) make redundant
electrical contact to the pads
on the board.
The STAX LD technology is
based upon 30 years of
experience in manufacturing
and in the hundreds of millions
of connectors used in trouble-
free applications. This is a low
durometer and low contact
resistance product.
Tyco Electronics maintains
complete control over the
quality and performance of the
product. The STAX product
line is manufactured from basic
raw materials (silver or gold,
and silicone) using a proprie-
tary manufacturing process.
The result is a connector
technology that allows the
freedom of design without the
traditional limitations of stand-
ard product availability. There
is no need to compromise
the end product at the design
stage.
Mechanically, the elastomeric
capabilities are flexible. The
technology can meet PCB
area requirements in appli-
cations of board separations
under 8.0 mm. Electrically,
resistance and current ratings
are competitive with most
alternative technologies.
How STAX Elastomeric
Connectors Work
STAX elastomers are zero
insertion force connectors
that do not require soldering.
They provide a compliant
surface-to-surface com-
pression connection when
deflected between opposing
mirror-image pad patterns.
Modifications & Options
The flexible elastomeric
manufacturing process
allows a fast, easy modifi-
cation of the products to
suit the individual needs
of the application. Typically
with an elastomer-only
solution there is no tooling.
There are requirements
for minimum production
volume.
