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.
The stand-off version supports modules with underside-mounted components up to 1.8mm maximum profile.
To hold the entire module securely, the connector and latch are positioned at either end of the card and operate together to enable module ejection.
Both components are surface-mounted and optimised for automated assembly.
The MM60 connector is a 52-way device meeting the PCI-SIG electromechanical specifications for Mini Card.
It has insertion loss of - 1dB at 1.25GHz, return loss of - 12dB at 1.7GHz, and crosstalk of - 32dB at 1.25GHz.
Other performance characteristics include initial contact resistance below 55mohm, rated current of 0.5A per pin, and di-electric withstand voltage of 300Vrms for 60 seconds.
The connector features gold-plated contacts, as well as a hold-down with tin-plated surface-mount terminations for lead-free soldering.
The stainless steel latch also has tin-plated terminations for lead-free soldering.
Insulators are made from UL94V-0 fire-retardant material meeting international safety requirements, and the connector is specified for operation from - 40C to 80C.
