FCI Develops 2.00mm-Pitch Modular Connector Systems with 0.1 Coplanarity for SMT Parts



ETTERS, PA (October 3, 2006) - FCI, a leading developer of connectors and interconnect systems, is the first to develop a 2.0mm-pitch modular connector system with 0.1mm coplanarity for all surface mount parts, enabling its Minitek(TM) family to meet the latest process requirements.

"Compared to 2.54mm pitch systems, Minitek connectors consume 38 percent less space on the printed circuit board," said Sean Riley, regional marketing manager for FCI. "This feature, combined with a coplanarity of 0.1mm, means less solder paste is required, which reduces total applied costs by up to 25 percent."

FCI's complete Minitek 2.00mm-pitch Modular Connector Systems include PCB receptacles, slim-line and shrouded headers, crimp-to-wire housings and terminals, unshrouded headers and IDC receptacles. The connectors are available in surface-mount and through-hole, double-row versions, in either straight or right angle orientation from four to 50 positions. The maximum current rating is 2A per contact.

Standard selective plating for Minitek provides electronic manufacturers a low-risk path to completely eliminating lead, since the parts meet all environmental requirements for lead-free and RoHS-compatible components. FCI has been supplying customers with these selective-plated products for more than 20 years for communication, data, consumer, automotive and industrial applications.
