Applications

Because of their excellence in devices with concerns of shock and vibration, elastomeric connectors are used for a variety of electronic devices heavily reliant on a stable connection, especially in challenging environmental conditions. Soldering can be too fragile and undependable under these circumstances. The connector provides multiple points of contact with the conductive layers and the connector itself, forming to the contacted surfaces for a gasket-like seal. Silicone is used for its excellent aging properties, electrical reliability, chemical stability, and outstanding performance in shock and vibration. Additionally, the connectors are easily installed by usually clamping them in place, which cuts time, effort, and cost in the assembly of devices.

From avionics to communications technologies, these connectors can be found in a large number of devices used by professionals and ordinary consumers. Their utilization has found a home in such applications as LCD and speaker interconnections, board-to-board solutions, microphones, and vibratory motors. With their reliability in conditions of adverse stability and environment, elastomeric connectors are useful in a broad range of mobile electronic devices to provide solid performance and durability. And with their ease of installation coupled with lower cost and high effectiveness, their applications prove a lucrative technological investment for the assembly process.
