Intro to Board to Board Connector Series Part 5

What are connector pitches?

Connector Pitch is the measurement from the center of one contact to the center of the next contact. When a connector has multiple rows, the pitch in each row and the pitch between rows may be different.

There are numerous factors for the hardware designer to consider when choosing the correct connector pitch:

1. Space constraint - The smaller the pitch is, the smaller the connector can be. In addition, smaller pitch can offer greater number of contacts within the same space.
2. Electrical Parameter – Pitch size has a positive correlation to electrical specifications such as current rating and dielectric withstanding.
3. Other physical constraints - Depending on the design, Greenconn offers numerous low-profile connector options across all pitches. We also accept customization requests. Greenconn’s board to board connector are available in the following pitches and rows:
