AVX has developed what it says is the industry’s smallest 0.4mm pitch board-to-board connector series. Designated the 5802 Series, the low-profile connectors feature an ultra-slim form factor of 0.8mm stacking height and 3.2mm width, including tails. The 10-to 60-position connector family has an innovative design that does not compromise reliability or performance.

AVX has just released a new series of ultra thin ceramic capacitors targeted at applications where low profile is vital, such as smart cards, high density SIM cards, and memory modules. The new UT parts have the same footprint as 0402 devices but are only as thick as conventional 0201 products. However, they retain the same voltage and capacitance ratings of the standard thicker 0402 capacitors.
