2mm Hard Metric Connectors >>> Overview

General Features and Benefits:

• High-density backpanel / daughtercard interconnect system.

• Completely modular system offers maximum design flexibility and minimizes time-to-market.

• High performance Eye-of-the-Needle compliant pin contacts provide a dependable gas-tight connection.

• 2.50mm minimum contact wipe for reliable performance.

• Designed to international standard IEC 1076-4-101.

• Meets the requirements of the CompactPCI® specifications as defined by PICMG.

• Meets the requirements of ANSI / VITA 30-2000 - American National Standard for 2mm Connector Practice for

Euroboard Systems.

• Meets requirements for ANSI / VITA 1.1 - 1997 - American National Standard for VME64 Extensions.

Soket Features and Benefits:

• Female socket connectors utilize a robust tuning-fork style contact design for high reliability.

• Female socket contact beams are offset from the contact body to provide clearance for mating pins.

• Female socket insulators contain unique molded-in features to help prevent "pin stubbing" caused by mis-

aligned pins.

• Simple and inexpensive insertion tools press-on-the-insulator to seat sockets into PCBs.

Header Features and Benefits:

• Three pin heights provide hot-plug capability and first-make-last-break (FMLB) contact sequencing on both

primary and rear plug-up mating sides of the connector.

• Rear plug-up headers have a Mylar alignment guide to ease connector placement into PCBs.

• Four different shroud heights available to accommodate PCB thickness range of 2.80mm to 5.60mm.

• Simple and inexpensive insertion tools press on contact shoulders to seat pin headers into PCBs.
