Lumberg’s RAST 2.5 connector for individual conductors is another solution for secure connection technology in applications with the highest demands on mechanical stability. It features a compact design and lateral locking hooks that secure the connector firmly on the PCB with a retaining force of at least 80 N. This exceptionally strong latching offers maximum security in the event of strong vibrations or shocks and makes the 3525 the ideal choice for demanding automotive applications. This RAST 2.5 system extension also features a new side wall option that extends the modular RAST 2.5 interface and thus meets current market requirements for flexible and space-saving connector solutions. Contacting using insulation displacement technology (IDT) means individual conductors with a cross-section of 0.22 to 0.38 mm² can be connected easily and efficiently. The optional coding and the option of closed side walls guarantee a reliable connection without mismating.

Omnetics’ Micro Strip connectors are COTS and standard connectors that include latching options and apply the rugged Mil Spec Flex pin-and-socket system, including a fine pitch board mount option with high-quality solder contacts. Omnetics’ High-Reliability Nano Strip connectors are designed for high shock and vibration conditions where space and weight are at a premium. These low-profile micro-miniature connectors and ultra-low profile nano-miniature connectors are available in a wide variety of configurations, including both single- and dual-row connections, to meet board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnect requirements.

Greenconn’s press-fit connector series features eye-of-the-needle compliant contacts designed for direct insertion into plated through holes, eliminating the need for soldering while providing secure mechanical retention and reliable electrical performance. The technology supports efficient PCB assembly, simplifies maintenance, and enhances connection stability in vibration-intensive environments. Typical applications include automotive control units, industrial automation, robotics, and communications infrastructure.

EDAC card edge connectors are available in a wide range of pitches, contact counts, mounting styles, and termination options for connecting printed circuit boards. Available in several contact spacings, with multiple options for contact terminations, plating thicknesses, and mounting styles for greater design flexibility.

CMM Series (2.00 mm pitch) ultra-modular micro connectors offer infinite configurations. Matr’YX Series high-density BGA board-to-board mezzanine connectors are engineered for extreme defense and space reliability. FMM Series floating board-to-board connectors automatically handle misalignments and absorb mechanical stress during PCB mounting. By offering this diverse range of board-level interconnects, Nicomatic empowers designers to push the boundaries of embedded electronics, ensuring long-term reliability in applications where failure is not an option.

The Powerpole Connector Series from Anderson Power is a versatile solution that meets a wide range of power connection needs from 20 AWG to 3/0 and currents up to 350 A. They are customizable, designed for quick and easy assembly with interchangeable and genderless parts. Powerpole connectors’ housing, color-coded by size, also meets strict flammability ratings. Chemical-resistant options are available. Powerpole 15/45 and Powerpole 75 can be used with PCB contacts. Additionally, their flat-wiping contact system, invented by Anderson Power, cleans the contact surface and helps prevent pitting damage from electrical arcing.

Amphenol LTW PCB connectors are engineered to deliver reliable performance in challenging environments. With flexible termination options, including SMT (Surface Mount Technology), THT (Through-Hole Technology), and Solder Cup, the series supports a wide range of PCB connection and assembly requirements. Secure locking mechanisms, such as bayonet, push-pull, and threaded coupling, help prevent accidental unmating caused by vibration. Designed for harsh environments and demanding industrial applications, Amphenol LTW PCB connectors combine rugged construction, waterproof performance, and dependable connectivity. These features make them ideal for applications where moisture, dust, vibration, and extreme temperatures are key concerns.

Simplify PCB wiring with Phoenix Contact’s Push-X technology for PCB terminal blocks and connectors. Featuring tool-free, effortless conductor insertion for stranded, ferruled, and solid wires, Push-X enables faster assembly, greater installation flexibility, and dependable performance in demanding applications.

Adam Tech’s ESMC Series delivers dependable, high-performance board-to-board connectivity in compact pitch designs, including 2.54 mm power and 1.27 mm signal configurations, engineered to meet a wide range of PCB requirements. The ESMC Power Series is available in 2 to 12 positions, with each precision-formed contact supporting up to 24 A for stable, high-current transmission. The 1.27 mm ESMC Signal Series offers versatile stacking and coplanar solutions in 2 to 80 positions. This Series also includes cable assembly options and press-fit connector solutions, providing expanded interconnect flexibility and secure, solderless termination capabilities for demanding applications. Together, these products support parallel, perpendicular, and side-by-side board arrangements, with vertical and right-angle orientations, as well as low, mid, and high-profile options. Featuring selective gold plating and robust terminal structures, the ESMC family ensures excellent conductivity, mechanical strength, and long-term reliability. SMT or SMT-DIP mounting options, plug and socket configurations, pick-and-place caps, and tape-and-reel packaging simplify layout, integration, and automated assembly, making the ESMC series ideal for consumer electronics, industrial equipment, medical devices, and other demanding applications.
