San Jose, CA - Kycon introduces a new innovation in 1394 IEEE connector design with the release of the low-profile connector. Available in single, the KMFS-SMT-130 provides dramatic space-saving benefits to designers of set-top boxes, PDA's, computer laptop and desktop systems, as well as peripherals such as printers, scanners, and CD burners. The low-profile design lowers the height of the connector above the surface of the Printed Circuit Board, allowing for the PCB to be mounted in a thinner chassis or closer to the other components or PCBs. The KMFS-SMT-130 enables above the board space savings of up to 55% compared to through-hole mount technology and 53% compared to surface mount. This provides equipment designers with new opportunities for achieving lower-profile system designs with height reductions up to 3mm when using this new Kycon component.

The KMFS-SMT-130 meets the standard IEEE 1394 specifications and is available in 30µ" gold contact plating and in tape and reel.
