FX10/FX11 Series, 0.5mm Pitch, Board to Board Connectors Suitable for SATA, USB 2.0 and PCI Express

The FX10/ FX11 series (Distribution by MSC Vertriebs GmbH)  has been introduced to meet the high demand for connectors that can meet 10Gbps high speed transmission.

The innovative connector design features superior transmission characteristics through the fixed ground plates to both sides of the header and receptacle.

Metal fittings are provided to protect against solder peeling and mechanical stress and aid the retention of the connector to the board. Long mating wiping distances are provided to ensure effective electrical continuity. Signal and ground contacts are arranged in a ratio of 10:1
with the ground plate surface mounted to the board to reduce noise levels. To prevent solder wicking a solder gap has been designed into the contact portion.

The series consists of surface mount headers and sockets in a fine pitch of only 0.5mm allowing for maximum space saving on the board. The FX10 offers 4mm & 5mm stack height and the FX11 offers 2mm, 2.5mm & 3mm. A wide variety of contact sizes start from 60 to 168 positions. 

The 10Gbps high speed transmission speed capability makes FX10/FX11 suitable for SATA, USB 2.0 and PCI express applications.
