Wafer connectors provide an efficient cable-to-PCB interconnection solution, featuring compact size and high current-carrying capacity. MTCONN's WTB series offers 2-40 pin configurations with a rated current of 3A per pin. Utilizing PA46 high-temperature nylon housing and tin-plated copper alloy terminals, these connectors operate reliably across a temperature range of -40℃ to 105℃. The foolproof design prevents incorrect insertion, while the dual-locking mechanism ensures stable connections in vibration-prone environments. The newly introduced 0.8mm pitch compact version meets the internal wiring requirements for TWS earphone charging cases.

How to Select a Wafer Connector for Your PCB

Selecting the right PCB Wafer Connector requires matching both electrical and mechanical requirements. Engineers and purchasing teams should consider the mating connector, PCB footprint, available installation space, current requirements, and production process before choosing a model.

Important selection factors include:

• Pitch – Select the contact spacing according to PCB density and mating requirements.

• Pin Count – Choose the required number of circuits for signal or power transmission.

• Mounting Method – SMT or through-hole/DIP according to PCB assembly requirements.

• Mating Direction – Vertical or right-angle configurations for different PCB and enclosure layouts.

• Rated Current & Voltage – Match electrical ratings to the actual circuit requirements.

• Housing Material – Select suitable materials according to soldering process and operating temperature.

• Terminal & Plating – Consider conductivity, contact stability, oxidation resistance, and application requirements.

• Operating Environment – Temperature, vibration, insertion frequency, and other working conditions should be considered.

M&T offers wafer connectors across different electrical ratings and structural designs, enabling customers to select a suitable solution for both compact signal connections and higher-current applications.

FAQ

What is a wafer connector?

A wafer connector is a PCB-mounted connector commonly used as part of a wire-to-board connection system. It provides an interface between the PCB and the mating wire-side housing or cable assembly and is available in different pitches, pin counts, mounting directions, and electrical ratings.

What wafer connector pitches does M&T offer?

M&T's current range includes 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.25mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.96mm and other pitch configurations. Available specifications vary by connector series.

What is the difference between SMT and DIP wafer connectors?

SMT wafer connectors are soldered onto PCB surface pads and are suitable for compact layouts and automated surface-mount production. DIP or through-hole connectors use terminals inserted through PCB holes, providing a different mounting structure and often greater mechanical anchoring.

Does M&T offer vertical and right-angle wafer connectors?

Yes. Different models are available with vertical and right-angle mating orientations. Selection depends on PCB layout, enclosure dimensions, cable routing, and assembly requirements.

Can M&T customize wire-to-board connectors?

Yes. M&T supports custom wafer and WTB connector projects based on customer drawings, samples, PCB requirements, or technical specifications. Customization can include dimensions, pitch, pin count, mounting structure, terminals, materials, and other requirements.

What information should I provide for a wafer connector inquiry?

For faster product matching, provide the required pitch, pin count, SMT or through-hole mounting, vertical or right-angle orientation, rated current and voltage, drawing or PCB footprint if available, application, and estimated order quantity.
