GENERAL CUSTOMER INFORMATION

This document is a general application guide. If there is a conflict between the product drawings and this

specification, the drawings take precedence.

4.1.

CONNECTOR CONFIGURATIONS

ZipLine™ press-fit headers are offered in both a vertical configuration for backpanel and orthogonal applications,

and as a right angle configuration for coplanar applications. ZipLine™ press-fit receptacles are offered in a right

angle configuration. The backpanel, orthogonal, and coplanar header assemblies all share the same mating

interface. This allows one receptacle, provided it has the same number of columns and the same number of rows,

to be mated with any of the fore mentioned header assemblies. Compliant press-fit tails provide a reliable

electrical connection between the ZipLine™ connectors and the plated through hole (PTH) of the PCB. Press-fit

tails eliminate the need for soldering processing of through-board solder tails. Press-fit technology simplifies

rework of assembled boards by allowing a damaged connector to be removed and replaced. Each connector

may be replaced with a new connector 2 times without damaging the PCB.
