Polarized Nano Connectors

Our Polarized Nano (PZN) family features some of the smallest board to cable mounted connectors in the industry.

Ideal for portable military equipment and small UAVs and robotic vehicles, the rugged connectors are highly resistant to shock and vibration.

The lightweight ultra-miniature connectors feature .025” (.64 mm) spaced gold-plated contacts, and are configured with one row of pins and one row of sockets, creating a polarized formation without additional guide pins. Options include pre-wired, solder cups, Horizontal SMT, Vertical SMT, Straight Thru-Hole or ready-made cable assemblies.
