FCI's Product Portfolio Meets Demands of Industrial Applications
Share:
ETTERS, P.A. (May 6, 2008) - FCI, a leading developer of connectors and interconnect
systems, is expanding and updating its product portfolio to continue to meet the needs of industrial equipment manufacturers.
FCI's industrial product offering is built around an extensive range of board-to-board and wire/cable-to-board connectors, with established brand names such as Dubox(TM), Quickie® and Minitek(TM). I/O connectors including modular jacks and D-Subs are also used in such applications.
"Customers know FCI for innovative, high-speed connector solutions," said Gijs Werner, global I&I market manager for FCI. "FCI is also a reliable source for interconnect solutions in industrial applications."
FCI has developed several technologies to enhance product offerings including an improved through hole reflow technology (Pin-In-Paste) which is used for most of FCI's products.Following the trend towards miniaturization, FCI also expanded its successful 2.00mm modular, board-to-board system Minitek, the most complete 2.00mm system. Minitek provides 38% PCB space reduction compared to 2.54mm systems.
"Although some of FCI's products were designed more than 40 years ago and set the connector standard at that time, we find that even today these products are still going strong," said Bavo Teunissen, global marketing communications director for FCI. "Products with dual-beam contact systems, proper normal force, higher conductive materials and performance-based plating address the needs for higher reliability in long lasting applications."
A specific service program was created to accomplish two-week lead-time, quick delivery of samples and easy access to information to make the design-in process easy and to speed up time-to-market. FCI continues to invest in the expansion and updating of its standard product portfolio because of the value these products have for industrial manufacturers. Detailed information is available in a dedicated brochure "Connectors for Process Control" available on FCI's web site.
