The Hermaphroditic Blade and Receptacle connector is a new SMT connector and is intended for use with in-line board-to-board applications.
The low profile surface mount connector uses hermaphroditic blades and receptacle to allow for a more flexible connection between printed circuit boards.
Connections can be made by sliding the two boards together horizontally or vertically. The unique capability to slide the two boards together vertically makes replacement of a board in mid strip easier by lifting up the strip to be replaced and lowering in the new one.
