Flat-flex assemblies suit high-speed signals

JAE Europe has a new family of connectors and preconfigured flat-flex cable assemblies for high-speed signal standards including LVDS.

JAE Europe has a new family of connectors and preconfigured flat-flex cable assemblies for high-speed signal standards including LVDS.

The FI-R/JF-04 family includes special features for optimal impedance matching, error-free assembly in high-volume applications, and extra reliability in the field.

The FI-R series connectors are 0.5mm-pitch, delivering a compact solution in 21-, 31-, 41- or 51-way configurations.

Available configurations include right-angle or straight connectors and crimp-type or soldered cable attachment.

By also meeting VESA standards, the new connectors are able to support future converged digital display connections.

The FI-R series introduces several enhancements for high-speed signalling applications, including a soldered hold-down on the board-mounted connector that delivers greater holding strength and reliable grounding for improved impedance matching.

Large mating guides on the plug-side allow fast and accurate assembly in high-volume manufacturing.

The connector system also features a mechanical lock designed to prevent mismating as well as accidental unmating.

The JF-04 series preconfigured FPC and connector assemblies are directly compatible with the FI-R series connection system, and are available in seven different lengths from 100 to 1000mm.

Combined with the improved signalling capabilities inherent in the FI-R series connectors, the JF04 series assembles are able to support transmission distances up to 1m for high-speed signals designed for small voltage excursions, including TMDS as well as LVDS.

The new cables and connectors enable a competitively priced, high-speed interconnect for cost-sensitive, high-performance applications including LCD televisions and other consumer products, and medical electronic devices.
