&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Hirose have introduced the BM10 series to offer a solution for miniature device applications needing small footprints and very low height profiles. &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/252x208/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-34/contentimage_5F00_17328.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/wikis/components/files/00/00/00/00/34/contentimage_17328.jpg-252x208.jpg?sv=2016-05-31&amp;amp;sr=b&amp;amp;sig=eFtt0WqEyI1tARTMaK3%2B6yppIHBLxTcVTaTu6MvnHb4%3D&amp;amp;se=2026-09-21T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;amp;sp=r&amp;amp;_=Zl6zDFOZyufotAeH61OgRQ==" style="max-height: 208px;max-width: 252px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The BM10 series is one of the world’s smallest connectors in its class. The 40 position version has a length of only 10.4mm and a depth of only 2.98mm when mated. Two ultra low parallel stack heights are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;available within the range which are 0.6mm or 0.8mm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Despite its compact dimensions, performance is not compromised and highly reliable mechanical connection is guaranteed. This is achieved by the utilisation of special unique two point contacts and a long &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;effective mating length of 0.2mm (stack height 0.6mm) or 0.1mm (stack height 0.6mm). Dimples on the contacts allow for a positive click and a tactile sensation to confirm correct and complete mating. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;In addition the dimples of the header contacts absorbs shock, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;reducing damage from drop impact. When the connector is in the mated position the contacts are fully &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;enclosed in the housing to protect against solder waste and flux. The termination area of the contact features a nickel barrier area to prevent solder wicking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Guide ribs are incorporated into the housing body allowing a wide self alignment range of 0.3mm in X or Y direction permitting smoother mating operation. At each corner of the connector metal fittings are present to increase the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;retention force of the connector to the board and protect the contacts from mechanical stress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Key Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="list-style-type:disc;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;10 - 60 contact positions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;0.4mm contact pitch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;0.3A current capacity &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;30V AC voltage rating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Space saving, low profile design&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Shock absorbing configuration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Enhanced self alignment &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;10 mating cycles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Ideal applications are PDA’s, portable handheld devices, POS and any other small devices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
