A range of 2mm pitch male and female rectangular, fully shrouded unsealed connectors with replaceable contacts designed for interconnecting board to board, cable to board, and cable to cable applications. These polarized connectors prevent mis-matching and are available in various configurations, including latching (L-Tek) or jackscrew (J-Tek) formats, with or without board mounting. Options include low-frequency (LF) contacts, mixed technology (Mix-Tek) with power or coax contacts, and pre-cabled contacts or cable assemblies. Some connector styles are manufactured and tested to BS9525 F0033.
