Autosplice has introduced a new series of compact surface mount contacts for antenna applications in mobile devices.
The new single-piece contact designs are ideally suited for Near Field Communications(NFC) antenna requirements as well as other grounding applications within wireless communication designs. Typical existing antenna clips use multi-piece designs that increase complexity, adding quality risk as well as increasing manufacturing costs.
Autosplice crush-proof antenna clips integrate the antenna contact and base into a unified single-piece stamping that improves reliability and reduces costs. Since the entire contact is formed from stamped copper alloy, contact resistance and mechanical stability during vibration are superior to multi-piece designs. In addition, the footprint of the one-piece contact requires less PCB space, allowing for overall better fit, form and function.
