Phoenix Contact FINEPITCH series board-to-board connectors

Phoenix Contact presents a series of robust board-to-board connectors. The FINEPITCH series includes shielded connectors with a pitch of 0.8 mm and unshielded versions with a pitch of 1.27 mm.

The product series offers versatile solutions for the connection of several PCBs within the device. Horizontal and vertical female and male connectors enable the user to arrange PCBs in the device in a mezzanine, coplanar or orthogonal layout. Both product ranges include 12- to 80-position versions for currents up to 1.4 A and voltages up to 500 VAC. With its EMC shielding, the FINEPITCH 0.8 product range is suitable for interference-free high-speed data transmission at rates of up to 16 Gbps.

The contacts on both sides of the ScaleX contact system ensure a long-term-stable electromechanical connection, even in the event of stress caused by shock or vibration. At the same time, the principle allows for a high level of tolerance for connectors that are positioned differently due to assembly. In addition, the insulating housing geometry prevents the connectors being interconnected incorrectly.

Pre-assembled IDC female connectors of the FINEPITCH 1.27 product range are available with flat ribbon cables in customised lengths on request, so they can be inserted into the device immediately.
