Corresponding to what it claims to be the industry's highest-level current rating of up to 5A for power supply applications, Panasonic has commercialised a 0.4mm pitch board-to-board/board-to-flexible printed circuit board (FPC) connector, the P4SP series. With the recent trend toward high functionality, compact and lightweight design, and increasing use of quick charging in both industrial and consumer equipment, high current rating is required for the connectors used for connecting the power supply board with the control board.

Key features:

Rated current: Max. 1.0A/terminal (Max. 5A with five terminals) (Max. 0.3A/terminal of Panasonic's conventional product)
Reduction of number of terminals for power supply - Reduction by 24 terminals compared with Panasonic's conventional product
Low contact resistance achieves high-quality analogue signal transmission, thereby contributing to high functionality of equipment
Contact resistance: 40mΩ (90mΩ of the Panasonic's conventional product)
Enhances the flexibility of designing power terminals.

The P4SP series is suitable for board-to-board connection in industrial and consumer equipment such as notebook PCs, POS terminals, hand-held terminals, drones, compact robots, and head-mount displays.
