CIN::APSE® is more than a connector; it's a versatile inter-connection technology. By using our many different sizes of buttons, plungers and spacers we can create an almost limitless number of configurations. This flexibility means that we can design CIN::APSE® to meet your exact interconnect needs.

Button Only
This is the basic CIN::APSE® contact configuration. It is ideally suited for applications requiring minimum height, high density, and signal integrity. This configuration is used in LGA sockets.



Plunger-Button
The addition of a gold plated brass plunger increases the durability of the CIN::APSE® contact while also achieving additional height. This configuration is ideally suited for board-to-board applications and those that require excessive handling.



Plunger-Button-Plunger
Adding a second plunger to the connector results in the most durable and tallest system. This configuration is best suited where both sides of the contact will see excessive handling.



Button-Spacer-Button
Using two buttons with a gold plated brass spacer in between creates a connector with all the benefits of the button only style, but the ability to span greater z-axis heights. This configuration is used where the button's multiple points of contact are needed.
