SMT connector provides 3.4mm stack height

ADVANCED INTERCONNECTIONS DHAL model of Mezza-pede family of SMT connectors provides a lower profile header that reduces board stack height by 15%. Device includes an ultrathin insulator, at 0.63mm, half the thickness of the original header design. When paired with mating socket model DHS, a z-axis stack height of 3.4mm is achievable. Device facilitates a reduction in package height and a shorter signal path in applications ranging from tunable laser power connectors in optical transceivers to hand-held medical electronic devices. http://www.advanced.com
