Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

Arrays, edge type, mezzanine (board to board) connectors are a type of rectangular connector that are used to connect two printed circuit boards (PCBs) together. These connectors are called "mezzanine" connectors because they are typically used to connect a secondary PCB to a primary PCB, such as a daughterboard to a motherboard. They are called "edge type" connectors because they are typically mounted on the edge of the PCB, and they are called "arrays" because they typically have a large number of pins or pads arranged in rows or columns. Edge type, mezzanine connectors are commonly used in applications where a high-density, high-speed connection is required between two PCBs. They are typically used in compact electronic devices, such as smartphones and laptops, where space is limited and the electrical performance of the connectors is critical. Edge type, mezzanine connectors are available in a variety of sizes and styles, each of which is designed for a specific type of application or PCB layout. Edge type, mezzanine connectors typically consist of two parts: the male connector, which is mounted on one PCB, and the female connector, which is mounted on the other PCB. The male connector has a set of pins or pads that are designed to mate with the corresponding pads or sockets on the female connector. When the two connectors are mated, they create a reliable and high-performance electrical connection between the two PCBs.
