Amphenol Socapex offers a wide range of board-to-board (PCB) & board-to-cables connectors for military & aerospace applications. Our solutions cover different types of technologies using copper and/or fiber optic and are proposed as high-pin count connector or high-speed solutions. Our connectors are designed to meet performances of main standards as MIL-DTL-55302, MIL-DTL-83513 and VITA (either VITA 46 or VITA 66). Proposed from 2.54mm to 1.27mm pitch, with signal, power, RF, optic or high-speed contacts, we have some compliant products with Ethernet or USB protocols. Amphenol Socapex can combines his board-to-cables offer with I/O connectors such as MIL-DTL-38999 to offer a complete harness from the panel to the board. We have a strong expertise in designing and manufacturing board-to-board customized solutions. Our PCB board level connectors are dedicated to harsh environments and are suited for military aerospace, commercial aerospace, ground vehicle, C5ISR and Navy.
What are the key factors to consider when designing a PCB layout for PCB connectors or board-to-board connectors?
When designing a PCB layout for PCB connectors, especially board-to-board connectors, several important factors should be taken into account to ensure optimal performance and reliability. These include:
- Connector placement and orientation for proper mating and ease of assembly
- The footprint size and shape of the PCB connector to ensure compatibility with your board layout
- Trace routing and signal integrity, particularly for high-speed board-to-board connectors
- Adequate clearance between connectors and surrounding components to prevent interference or damage
- Consideration of mechanical stresses and mounting stability for rugged applications
Amphenol Socapex provides a comprehensive range of board-to-board PCB connectors and board-to-cable connector solutions. Our portfolio includes high-speed PCB connectors, high-density (high-pin count) connectors, and both copper and fiber optic technologies, making them ideal for demanding aerospace, military, and industrial environments.

How do I choose the right PCB connector or board-to-board connector for my application?
Selecting the right PCB connector, especially a board-to-board connector, involves evaluating several key technical and environmental criteria, including:
- The connector type: board-to-board, wire-to-board, or wire-to-wire connectors
- The required number of contacts and pin density
- The current and voltage ratings to ensure electrical performance
- Environmental conditions such as operating temperature, humidity, and vibration
- Available space on the printed circuit board (PCB) for the connector footprint
