Board-to-board connector female, sometimes simply referred to as a female board-to-board connector or a receptacle, is an electrical connector designed to provide the female or receptacle side of a connection between two printed circuit boards

1. Contact Configuration: The female connector features a set of contacts or pins that align with the corresponding contacts on the male connector, allowing for electrical and sometimes mechanical connections.

2. Compatibility: Female board-to-board connectors are designed to be compatible with specific male connectors in terms of pitch (spacing between the contacts), number of contacts, and other electrical and mechanical parameters.

3. Mounting Options: These connectors may be designed for surface mount technology (SMT) or through-hole technology (THT) assembly, depending on the specific application and design requirements.

4. Space Efficiency: Female board-to-board connectors are often designed to be space-efficient, especially in applications where compact designs are crucial.

5. Versatility: They are available in various configurations and sizes to accommodate different design and space constraints.

6. Reliable Connection: These connectors provide a secure electrical and mechanical connection between PCBs, ensuring reliable performance and signal integrity.

Female board-to-board connectors are commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices and systems, including consumer electronics, industrial equipment, automotive applications, telecommunications, and more. They play a vital role in facilitating the interconnection of PCBs and electronic components, ensuring that electrical signals, data, and power are transmitted effectively between the interconnected boards.
