What are the connection methods of board-to-board connectors?

Board to board connectors

Board to board connectors

Plug-in connection

Plug-in connection is the most common type of board-to-board connector. The connection and disconnection of the circuit board are achieved by plugging and unplugging the plug and the socket. The plug is fixed to one circuit board and the socket is fixed to another. It is easy to operate and maintain, and is particularly suitable for occasions where frequent plugging and unplugging are required. However, the large plug-in and pull-out force may cause wear on the plug and socket.

Mechanical connection

Mechanical connection uses mechanical elements such as screws and nuts to ensure a stable connection of the board-to-board connector. It has a stable structure and strong earthquake resistance, and is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for connection stability. However, the operation is relatively complicated and requires tool assistance, which increases the difficulty of connection.

Soldering connection

Soldering connection forms a stable electrical connection between the pin and the circuit board by welding. This method has a strong connection and high reliability, and is suitable for occasions with strict requirements on connection quality. However, the welding operation requires high technical requirements and difficulty, and requires professional welding skills and tools.

Bayonet connection

Bayonet connection uses bayonet and locking device to achieve connection and disconnection. It is easy and quick to operate and is suitable for occasions that require quick loading and unloading. However, the locking device is easy to loosen, which may affect the stability of the connection.

There are four types of board-to-board connectors: plug-in, mechanical, welding, and bayonet. Each has its own characteristics and is suitable for different scenarios. When choosing, you need to combine the actual needs and usage environment to ensure stable connection and convenient operation.
