This article describes the OBD2 (On Board Diagnostic) protocol, which includes the OBD2 connector, the OBD2 PIDs (parameter IDs) in relation to the CAN bus. Note: This is a practical introduction, so you will also learn how to request and decode OBD2 data, key logging use cases, and application tips. What is OBD2? In short, […]
Read morePitch is the distance between individual pins. Hardware designers must weigh many factors in choosing the correct connector pitch: Space constraints – The smaller the pitch, the smaller the connector. Typically using a smaller pitch allows for a lower connector profile, which reduces the PCB stack profile. However, J&B offers many thin connector options at […]
Read moreJ&B board-to-board connectors are available in through-hole (TH) and surface mount (SMT) versions. Locating pegs (also known as locating posts, alignment pins or board locks) are used to help align the connector with the PCB. Locating pins are especially useful when using surface mount components. 1. Through-Hole (TH): 2. Surface Mount Technology (SMT) : 3. […]
Read moreBroadly speaking, board-to-board connectors are manufactured in the following types: 1. Pin Header, also known as the male head: 2. Raised row of Pin Header, also called double row of pin header, or stacked row of pin header 3. Female sockets, also known as female sockets, sockets 4. Extra plastic busbar, or extra high female […]
Read moreJ&B’s 1.00mm pitch connectors have a very small pitch, making them ideal for miniature air-to-board applications that require full surface mount compatibility. Other features include an industrial temperature range of -40 to +105°C and carrier tape packaging with pick and place caps for automated processing. View all related products
