Hirose FX11 Series Straight Surface Mount PCB Socket, 80-Contact, 2-Row, 0.5mm Pitch, Solder Termination

Hirose FX11 Series 0.5 mm High-Speed Board to Board Connectors with Ground Plate. FX11 series 0.5 mm high-speed board to board SMT header and receptacle connectors with a low profile design able to produce board to board mating heights of 2 mm, 2.5 mm and 3 mm. The 0.5mm pitch offers space saving on the PCB and makes these FX11 connectors ideal for use in high density applications. These FX11 series board to board connectors feature SMT ground plates fixed to either side of the connectors for improved transmission characteristics. The signal and ground are arranged in a 10:1 ratio for ground stability and reduced noise. Metal fittings either end of the connector provide a robust retention to the PCB and protect against solder peeling and mechanical stress. These fittings also connect to the ground plates to provide a stronger ground. The contacts of these 0.5mm FX11 series high-speed board to board PCB connectors feature a long wiping distance for highly reliable electrical continuity. A solder gap in the board mounting portion of the contact helps to prevent solder wicking. These FX11 board to board connectors also feature PCB guide posts that provide extra stability on the PCB.
