Application requirements of board-to-board connectors in the wireless equipment market
Board-to-board connectors are connector products with excellent transmission capabilities among all connector types currently on the market. Judging from the current status of the connector market, the development trend of board-to-board connectors is very rapid, and the applications are becoming more and more extensive.
The smaller design, lighter weight and cheaper price of board-to-board connectors have driven the rapid development of the wireless equipment market. Small size means saving space, reducing weight, and leaving more room for other system designs.
For example, board-to-board connectors are widely used in distributed base station systems, such as remote radio heads (RRH), which can be easily, conveniently, and reliably installed on top of towers and in dense urban environments, so the design of these connectors must be very compact to control the size of coaxial interconnection systems that require RF signal transmission. Traditional and complex cable assemblies are being replaced by board-to-board coaxial connectors because of their simplicity, compactness, reliability and ability to carry RF signals exceeding 100W.
As the connector design engineers are learning more and more about boards, the design technology is also getting higher and higher. More and more designers adopt plate-type board-to-board connectors, so that the design cost can be better considered. The current market demand for board-to-board connector solutions is simple design at lower cost.
However, as connector sizes get smaller, mechanical design faces two major challenges. First, small connectors are more difficult to align with each other than large connectors. Second, small connector has low mechanical strength and is easily damaged if used improperly. Typically, large connectors can withstand large mechanical forces during mating without damage, but smaller connectors require more precision when mating.
