Board-to-Board Parallel Link with One Part Number
The TE Connectivity 2291283-2 is a 30-position hermaphroditic (self-mating) connector from the Fine Pitch Hermaphroditic (FPH) series. Its defining feature is that the same part number serves as both halves of a board-to-board connection — no separate plug and receptacle to manage on the BOM. Surface-mount termination suits reflow soldering in high-density assemblies.
Pitch and Footprint — What 0.50 mm Means for Your Board
At 0.50 mm pitch, the 2291283-2 demands a fine-line PCB layout. Trace widths and spaces below 0.25 mm are typical to route signals between pads. The single-row, 30-position layout keeps the connector body narrow — about 15 mm along the board edge — which fits tight enclosure envelopes where a dual-row connector would overhang. Because the connector is hermaphroditic, the same footprint lands on both boards in the stack. The mated pair has no male/female height asymmetry; the stack height is determined by the PCB thicknesses and solder paste height. Confirm the board-to-board spacing in your assembly before committing the layout.
