As electronic designs become smaller and more complex, engineers need board-to-board connector solutions that can support reliable signal transfer without taking up unnecessary PCB space. Harwin Archer .5 and Archer .8 are compact mezzanine connectors designed for daughterboard-to-motherboard signal transfer in high-density PCB layouts.
The Archer .5 range is based on a 0.5 mm pitch and supports data rates up to 8 GHz / 16 Gb/s, while Archer .8 is based on a 0.8 mm pitch and supports data rates up to 12 GHz / 24 Gb/s. Both options are suitable for compact board-to-board designs where high-speed communication, contact density, and assembly reliability are important.
Harwin SMT Cable Clips are suitable for electronic equipment where cable routing, wire retention, and compact PCB-level c
Harwin Archer .5 and Archer .8 are suitable for compact electronics applications requiring high-speed board-to-board signal connections, including:
These applications often require compact interconnect solutions that can support data transfer between stacked PCBs or removable modules while maintaining efficient use of PCB space.
Mezzanine connectors are commonly used when two PCBs need to be connected in a stacked board configuration. This helps designers route signals between a motherboard and a daughterboard while keeping the overall assembly compact.
For high-speed electronics, connector selection should consider more than pitch alone. Engineers may need to review data rate, board-to-board height, contact count, temperature range, mechanical durability, and assembly requirements.
According to the Archer datasheet, Archer .5 offers a smaller 0.5 mm pitch with 8 mm board-to-board height, while Archer .8 offers 0.8 mm pitch with 5 mm board-to-board height. Archer .8 also supports the higher listed data rate of up to 12 GHz / 24 Gb/s and a wider upper operating temperature of +125°C.
Harwin Archer .5 and Archer .8 offer two compact high-speed mezzanine connector options within the BBi range.
Archer .5 is suited for compact high-density board-to-board designs requiring a smaller 0.5 mm pitch connector solution. It supports data rates up to 8 GHz / 16 Gb/s and is designed for compact signal transfer applications.
Archer .8 provides a 0.8 mm pitch option with data rates up to 12 GHz / 24 Gb/s. It offers a 5 mm board-to-board height and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for compact high-speed industrial applications where these specifications are required.
Both ranges are designed with polarized housings, SMT compatibility, tape and reel packaging, and board-to-board mating support for high-volume electronics assembly.
