TE Connectivity Micro-MaTch Top Entry 8-Way Socket

The TE Connectivity Micro-MaTch Top Entry Female-on-Board Connector incorporates a patented Micro-MaTch contact spring system, designed for superior performance and reliability. These connectors are specifically engineered to be soldered onto PC boards with a nominal thickness of 1.6mm, featuring indented solder legs that ensure firm retention before and during soldering cycles.

A standout feature of this connector is that polarisation is achieved directly between the Micro-MaTch male connectors and the PC board, meaning the top entry female connector does not require polarising features. This results in greater flexibility during installation, as the orientation of the connector on the PCB is irrelevant.
