The SAMTEC BBD series is a line of machined board stacking strips designed to provide a reliable and flexible connection solution. These strips feature a low-profile design, achieving board spacings as low as 3.89 mm (.153 inches) when mated with SL series connectors. They combine the approach to reliability of a permanent connection with the flexibility of a separable connection. Constructed with materials like black glass-filled polyester or high-temp nylon, and available with gold or tin plating over nickel, these strips are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where secure and manageable board connections are required. Note that some lengths, styles, and options are non-standard and non-returnable.
