On-Board Grounding Contacts (SMT-type)

KITAGAWA INDUSTRIES America offers a wide variety of board-level mounting (SMT) grounding contacts as well as specialized SMT clasps for small cables and shielding-can clips. Our simple yet sophisticated on-board contacts all use SMT (surface mount technology). Some benefits include:

  • Efficient use of limited space on the PCB

  • All EMC solutions can be done at the board-level, including grounding and shielding

  • Effective EMC grounding at the design stage

  • Specially designed to prevent warping of springs

  • Easy to incorporate even where screw holes are included.
  • Effective for reducing emission, immunity, and ESD

OG Series

KITAGAWA INDUSTRIES America carries a large selection of onboard contacts (OG) that are excellent grounding materials for reducing EMI noise at the board level.

OG-160810

Tiny profile, board-level EMC grounding component. Compact design, great for space-conscious applications (such as smart, wearable devices).

OG‐321605

On-board grounding component designed for small gaps. Low profile contact designed for space conscious applications.

On‐board Contact for Parallel EMC Grounding: OG‐321605G

On-board grounding component designed for small gaps. Low profile contact designed for space conscious applications.

OG-453239-A

Connecting a GND layer of PCB with multiple points on a chassis can be expected to suppress radiation noise. Can be used under high temperature at 150ºC.

OG-503253-A

SMT grounding contact for engine compartment PCB. Spring mechanism capable of withstanding 10 million deflections caused by engine vibration.

OG-684296

SMT-type EMC grounding contact for PCB’s in engine compartments. Unique dimple design allows for continued eletrical contact.

OGC Series

Compact cables clamps applicable to automated mounting on PC board. Board‐level wire management clamps. Available in side or top insertion.

OGCP Series

These are unique onboard contacts that act as both shielding can holders and rounding components. It can be snapped into the clips and taken off when needed.

On-Board Clip: OGCP-502423

Automated mounting applicable fixture “On-Board Clip” for shielding can. Multi-point GND is provided to shielding can and reinforced shielding performance.

OGP Series

Eliminates problems with bad contact due to soldering flux. Ensures reliable, stable electrical contact for EMC grounding.

OGP-2520,OGP-3216, OGP-4520

OGP solves contact failure problems caused by solder flux. Eliminates continuity failure caused by pattern scraping between a PCB and pogo pins and a PCB and a metal plate.

OGSC Series

Side contacts for perpendicular grounding. Ideal for applications where standard grounding between parallel boards/chassis is not possible.

Side Contact: OGSC-T-302020 and OGSC-B-302020

Side contacts for perpendicular grounding. Due to low profile design (2mm), it’s suitable for small electronic devices. Operating temperature -40ºC ~ 150ºC.

OG‐R Series

For reliable and stable electrical grounding when applied at screw holes. Helps to prevent EMC grounding reduction from loosened screws.
