stack height, board to board connectors from
Hirose
The FX8 and FX8C series has been introduced to
meet the high demand for connectors that are suitable
for high speed applications. FX8/FX8C can
handle 3.125Gbps transmission speed with excellent
signal integrity features.
The series consists of headers and sockets in a fine surface mount pitch of only 0.6mm allowing for
maximum space saving on the board. Generous parallel stacking heights are offered from 3mm to
16mm. A wide variety of contact sizes are offered from 40 to 280 positions offering a wide choice.
Small, mating guide ribs are provided to secure a self alignment tolerance of +/- 0.6mm allowing
flexibility in the design. The mating wiping distance is 2mm ensuring effective electrical continuity.
Two positioning pegs, also known as bosses, are positioned at each end with different diameters to avoid mis-insertion into the board. Twin, side by side versions are available which are joined together with a special joining bar, this enhances the mating reliability and can be removed if needed.
The FX8 offers 3mm & 4mm stack height and the FX8C offers 5mm to 16mm. These are suitable for
a wide range of miniature electronic equipment needing high speed capability.
