Need SMD connector for through PCB connection - suggestions?
561 1 Oct 22.2019, 17:45:36

I am looking for some suggestion how to connect something on the other side of a SMD PCB. Right now I use normal through hole connectors, but that requires handsoldering. Double side SMD isn't possible.
The only thing I am aware of that comes close are female SMD headers (see picture) that can be reflow soldered - and then you have a header on the other side that you can place through the PCB. Works perfectly. But I would prefer something that can be locked to prevent slip-off.
I need to connect 3 x 2pin wires. One pair is 3.7V power, two are connecting REED sensors.

Any ideas?

Micro-miniaturized mezzanine connectors are locked, but the locking force should be even less than unlocked 0.1'' headers.You could cut a slot for a flexi cable and run it to a locking connector on the top side. Depends on current requirement.
