This is a zebra-type interconnector which consists of conductive and insulating silicone rubber arranged alternately and both sides are supported by insulating spongy silicone rubber with low-hardness.

This type is suitable for connection stability, and is used as connector between LCD and printed circuit board or PCB, especially electronic parts that cannot be soldered.

 

[Industrial field]

Automobile, Information device, Home electric appliance

Performance

  • Silver particles, that are used as conductive elements, make the stable connection with low resistance. It is suitable for connecting board-to-board and electronic component to a board as an alternative to soldering.
  • The flexibility of silicone rubber supporting fine metal wires provides excellent absorption of dimensional variation between boards, excellent reliability, and superior resistance to vibration and shock.

 

[Applications]

  • Connection of devices（Speakers, Microphones, etc.）to PCB
  • Connection of board-to-board
  • Anti-Tamper Switch

Characteristics

  • Just compressing and holding the connector between the electrodes can save space in the connections and make the devices smaller and thinner.
  • The connector does not need to be positioned (random connection), because multiple conductive pass in it contact the electrode.
  • Solderless connection allows easy assembly and disassembly.
  • Since the connection is maintained by the reaction force of the silicone rubber, a stable connection can be achieved even in equipment that requires high resistance to vibration and shock.
  • The conductive element is a silver particle. It is suitable for connections that require low resistance, high current capacity, and no damage to the electrode.

Specifications

  • Compression connection type connector: Conductive silicone rubber using silver particles and insulating silicone rubber are arranged at a low pitch, and both sides are supported by insulating silicone rubber.
  • Elastomeric interconnector in which conductive silicone rubber with silver particles and insulating silicone rubber are arranged at a low pitch, and both sides are supported by insulating silicone rubber.
  • MS-G type that uses foamed silicone rubber for the support part, and MS-Z type that uses thin silicone rubber for the support part.
