CompactPCI connectors feature hot-swap coding
The new MJ04 series 2mm metric connector system from JAE complies with the IEC 1076-4-101 electrical and mechanical specification for CompactPCI interconnection.
Low-profile FPC connectors offer greater density
The FB1 series from JAE is a 0.3mm pitch low profile connector for FPC (flexible printed circuits) designed for use in applications where size and weight are a premium.
Operating temperature range from -25 to +85C allows use in ISM equipment as well as consumer products.
Mini-SD Card is 60% smaller than standard but has identical security features.
The SC1 series makes most of that size advantage available to PCB and product designers by being 43% smaller than a standard SD Card connector such as JAE's SG series.
SC1 connectors measure 23.45 x 21.7mm, and height is 2.35mm.
The SC1 range also includes a Mini-SD Card adapter, allowing Mini-SD Cards to be used in SG connectors for easy data sharing.
These are available with a movable write-protect switch, printable name panel and soft case.
The SC1 connector has 11 contacts, each with contact resistance less than 100mohm.
Maximum rated current and voltage are 0.5A and 3.3V, respectively.
The push-push insert-release mechanism features an eject structure, and there is a user-friendly audible click sound when inserting the card.
A card detection insertion switch is also included.
Stated lifetime is 10,000 insertions.
The connector is suitable for automatic placement, and compatible with lead-free soldering processes.
