ITT Interconnect Solutions has developed a new connector designed to improve signal transmission and reception in wireless handheld devices. The company's Perfect Wireless Interconnect features a 300k psi domed interconnect contact with a minimum force of 0.5N and deflection of 0.6 mm, holding signal integrity through the antenna and experiencing no field failures.

Available in beryllium copper (BeCu) or titanium copper (TiCu), the connector also features side walls to provide beam protection, and a solder well to prevent wicking. It is specified for use as a SIM, speaker/vibrator, microphone, battery, or board-to-board contact in a number of handheld wireless applications, including handsets, Smartphones, laptop computers, memory sticks, CT scanning equipment, key fobs, and GPS units.

“Along with signal integrity, an additional challenge in handheld wireless applications is to provide a high specification interconnect that fits in extremely limited board space,” said Keith Teichmann, director of marketing for ITT Interconnect Solutions. “The Perfect Wireless Interconnect has a reduced length to fit tight spacing, yet withstands manufacturing stresses and remains stable on the board, providing an optimum solution for handheld device manufacturers.”

Typical pricing for the Perfect Wireless Interconnect ranges from $0.075 to $0.115 each. Lead time is from six to eight weeks.
