Waldenburg (Germany), 27 September 2021—Würth Elektronik presents two more products qualified for the automotive industry with its WE-SCFA series contact fingers and the WA-SMSA SMT spacers. The high-quality mechanical components for PCB assembly have already proven their worth in numerous applications.

WA-SMSA board-to-board connectors for SMT assembly are made of tin-plated steel and can be used as spacers to separate PCBs and/or housings by 1 mm to 15 mm. They feature strong holding forces and torques. An easily removable polyimide film serves as the pick-and-place pad. WA-SMSA is available with through via and M3 thread.

WE-SCFA contact fingers are now also available with IATF 16949 certified production. They provide an elegant way of establishing a reliable ground contact.
