0.40mm Pitch Mezzanine Header for Tight Stack Heights
The Hirose BM20B(0.8)-20DP-0.4V(53) is a 20-position, dual-row header from the BM20 series, designed for board-to-board mezzanine connections where PCB real estate is at a premium. Its 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch is among the tightest in the mezzanine connector class, letting you route dense signal traces between two parallel boards without expanding the board footprint. The connector sits 0.026" (0.65mm) above the board and mates to a stacking height of 0.8mm — a z-height budget that fits slim handheld devices, camera modules, or sensor assemblies where every tenth of a millimeter counts. The outer shroud contacts guide alignment during mating and shield the signal pins from accidental stubbing.
SMT Footprint and Solder Retention
This keeps the header from lifting or shifting under the shear load of a mated cable or during thermal cycling. The Tape & Reel packaging (also available in Cut Tape) feeds directly into a pick-and-place line, which keeps assembly throughput high for volume builds.
