FOUNTAIN INN, SC, Mar 6, 2025 – KYOCERA AVX has released the new 9258-100 Series spring-finger board-to-board compression contacts. Designed to provide full connector functionality in a miniature, low-profile, single-contact form factor that supports flexible PCB placement, the new 9258-100 Series spring-finger board-to-board compression contacts help OEMs across industries reduce size and costs without compromising performance.
The high-strength, UL-approved copper alloy contacts are available with three deflected height profiles spanning 1.00mm to 3.75mm to maximize application suitability and with up to 0.4µm of gold plating to maximize signal integrity, reliability, and durability. They are also designed to ruggedly withstand up to 50g of shock, 2.7g of random vibration, and 2,500 mating cycles and supplied in tape and reel for easy SMT assembly. The series is rated for up to 6A, 600VAC or the DC equivalent, and operating temperatures extending from -40°C to +125°C.
Suitable applications include tough, industrial handheld and portable devices, board-to-board connections for standard power or signal needs, and grounding connections between PCBs or enclosures.
“The new 9258-100 Series spring-finger board-to-board compression contacts provide superior flexibility and performance in a space-saving, economical single-contact form factor that reliably maintains connections even when exposed to extreme shock and vibration,” said Perrin Hardee, product marketing manager, KYOCERA AVX. “They’re also the smallest spring contacts on the market for portable battery connectors.”
“These new connectors are based on our field-proven 9155 Series ultra-low-profile single compression contacts and backed by more than 30 years of experience designing and developing individual compression contacts that deliver full connector functionality and performance in a wide range of industrial, consumer, medical, automotive, and marine applications, including robotics, mobile phones, tablets, wearables, and portable glucose meters,” he continued. “So, we’re very excited to release them to market, where they’re sure to help OEMs overcome several common design challenges.”
