A range of 2mm pitch male and female rectangular, fully shrouded unsealed connectors with replaceable contacts for interconnecting board to board, cable to board, and cable to cable. The range covers 2 to 96 ways, in various application methods. Female connectors are available for crimp, vertical through-board, and surface mount termination. Male connectors are available for crimp, vertical or horizontal (90) through-board and surface-mount termination. Pre-cabled contacts and cable assemblies are also available in various options.
The connectors are provided with a range of contact terminations that are gold or tin plated. The contact zone of a gold-plated contact is hard acid gold of 98% purity.
The connector is intended for use as a low voltage connector in high packing density electronic equipment. The connector is polarized to prevent mis-matching and can be produced with a latching feature (L-Tek) or in a jackscrew (J-Tek) format, with or without board mounting.
L-Tek and J-Tek connectors are available with low-frequency (LF) contacts, while mixed technology (Mix-Tek) connectors are also available with jackscrews, with a choice of power or coax contacts.
Note: Some connector styles are available manufactured and tested to BS9525 FO0O33. All other connectors in the range are designed to the same specification. For cable assembly specifications see Component Specification CO49XX (where XX is the latest issue).
