TE Launches 1.9mm-High, Low-Profile Battery Connector for Mobile Devices

TE Connectivity today launched a new low-profile battery connector with a height of 1.9mm for mobile devices. With increasing global demand for high-performing, cost-effective and slimmer mobile devices, TE designed the low-profile battery connector to optimize reliability and durability while addressing industry needs.

"Engineering a new solution for mobile battery interconnection really challenged our product development team to think out-of-the-box and with the end consumer in mind,” said Masaki Shoji, product manager, TE Consumer Devices. “We focused on developing a mobile battery connector with a low-profile design that has flexibility – meaning, it can adapt to individualized customer designs – as well as ensuring a reliable connection and a competitive production cost.”

Key features and benefits of the low-profile battery connector include: Decreased production cost by reducing to a singular component; Improved design efficiencies and low-profile height of 1.9mm for thinner and sleeker end-products; Enhanced electrical reliability against external disturbances, such as vibration, extreme temperatures or shock; Increased durability and lifespan – sustained 5,000 cycles in a durability test without any damage to the contact.
