Panasonic Corporation has announced that it has developed a battery connector for FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) board applications with high current capacity in the industry’s thinnest profile. The primary application is the battery connection in smartphones, tablets, and other wearable devices using embedded batteries.
Features
- A very thin profile 0.6mm battery connector with 6.0 A (3.0A/pin x 2 pins) high electric currency capacity. A major application will be mobile devices.
- High retention force, despite its small size and thin profile, with high connection reliability.
- Higher assembly efficiency with its easy positioning when fitting the socket to header.
Smartphones and other mobile or wearable devices involve multiple high current draw functions such as camera flashes and brighter displays, and this trend is expected to continue. This need conflicts with the parallel drive toward devices that are thinner and lighter year by year; batteries must be smaller and lighter as well. As a result, the connector between battery and the circuit board must be small and still able to conduct larger currents. With a very thin profile, 6 A current capability and a high retention force, the firm expects the new connector to find wide application as a battery connector in smartphones, tablets and the new generation of wearable mobile computing devices.
