The World's Smallest Class Floating Board-to-Board Connector, 125°C heat resistance and high contact reliability with two-point contacts for automotive specifications

±0.4mm Floating Amount, Small Size with 3.8mm Width,
125℃ Head Resistance
Automotive Board to Board Connector BM54 Series

The BM54 series is a board-to-board connector that combines floating functionality and compact size to meet automotive specifications. It has a generous floating amount of ±0.4mm in the XY direction, yet is compact with 3.8mm width. Floating also improves assembly work efficiency by absorbing board misalignment.

Furthermore, its heat resistance of 125°C, which is required for in-vehicle equipment, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications including consumer and industrial equipment as well as front cameras, rear/side cameras, millimeter wave radar, and LiDAR, which are key components in automated driving.

Features

One of the World’s Smallest Width Dimensions

With a height of 3.0 mm, a contact pitch of 0.4 mm, and a width of 3.8 mm, the BM54 series is one of the world's smallest board-to-board connectors with a floating function. Compared to other companies' products, it occupies 34% less board space, contributing to the miniaturization of sets.

Comparison of PCB Mounting Space

Floating Range ±0.4mm in X and Y directions absorb PCB Misalignment

A floating design on the plug side allows ±0.4mm of movement in the XY axis direction. By absorbing misalignment when mounting the connector or assembling the board into the end of product, the design flexibility is expanded. It is also possible to mount and assemble multiple connectors on the same board. Contact reliability is also ensured with an effective mating length of up to 0.4 mm.
