The innovative design features an ultrathin insulator, at only 0.025 inch (0.63mm) &ndash; half the thickness of the original header design. When paired with mating socket model DHS, a z-axis stack height of 0.132 in. (3.4mm) is achievable. This newest Mezza-pede&reg; connector 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.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> Mezza-pede&reg; SMT Connectors are ideal for 1.0mm pitch board-to-board and cable-to-board interconnections in high density electronic designs, where space is at a premium. The new model DHAL is currently available with 14 positions and features Advanced&rsquo;s proprietary SMT lead frame and pin design, combining high reliability screw-machined terminals with a unique over-molded lead frame in a precision-molded LCP insulator.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> Typical applications include telecommunications, military, medical, and anywhere a high reliability surface mount connector is needed in a high density package. Mezza-pede&reg; SMT Connectors with 30 microinches (&micro;in) gold plating pass the 20-day mixed flowing gas (MFG) test, often required by the world&rsquo;s most demanding telecommunications applications.
