LS Mtron Unveils World's Smallest B2B Connector at US DesignCon

0.175mm Pitch 4-Row B2B Connector Debut

LS Mtron, an industrial machinery and advanced components company under LS Group, will participate in 'DesignCon 2024' held in Santa Clara, California, USA, from January 31 to February 1, introducing new B2B connector products.

DesignCon is a global IT, semiconductor, and automotive technology exhibition held annually in Silicon Valley, California, USA. With a history of 30 years, this year's event features over 140 global companies in components, materials, equipment, and software showcasing the latest technology trends.

LS Mtron is participating in the event for promotional and new product marketing purposes targeting customers in the Americas. At this exhibition, the company will unveil for the first time the world's smallest 0.175mm pitch 4-row B2B connector and the EMI (electromagnetic interference) fully shielded B2B connector, aiming to present a new paradigm and direction for B2B connectors.

The 0.175mm pitch world's smallest 4-row B2B connector is an electronic component used in small wearable devices such as watches, earphones, and smartphones. Compared to the existing 0.35mm pitch B2B connector, its size is reduced by 40%, making it suitable for use in smaller wearable devices. It also allows more functions to be applied to wearable devices of the same size. The product strength is enhanced with a seamless integrated metal guide, and the soldering part is made open-type to improve quality reliability.

The EMI fully shielded B2B connector is a product supplied to global companies. It is used in 5th generation mobile communication (5G) smartphones and smart devices for millimeter wave (mmWave) bands above 24 gigahertz (GHz), a high-frequency range. Its triple complete shielding structure enables stable 5G mmWave antenna module data transmission and also solves noise issues occurring when transmitting high-quality data from high-resolution cameras.

Song In-duk, Director of the Electronic Components Division at LS Mtron, said, "We consider it meaningful to participate in DesignCon this year to showcase our technological capabilities and introduce our products." He added, "Especially at this exhibition, we expect that unveiling the world's smallest and fully shielded new B2B products will be an opportunity to grow with global customers."
