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 polarised 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.
