FX20 Series board-to-board connector has a floating contact mechanism and self-alignment structure. Provides +/-0.6mm floating in the x and y axes. Absorbs mounting misalignment from multiple stacking connectors and printed circuit board shrinkage caused by high temperatures. Includes double beam contact structure. Each contact beam has a different vibration characteristic and a different contact force. First beam has a 0.5N contact force; second beam has a 0.35N contact force. Is resistant to sulfur dioxide and operates in environments up to 105°C, with thermal shock protection from -40° to +85°C for up to 1000 cycles. Has self-cleaning functionality. First beam eliminates dust from contact path. Header and receptacle contacts are enclosed in the housing. Has a 0.5mm pitch design that delivers a 0.5A current per pin capacity. Offers large mating guide pins on the header, allowing for +/-1.2mm self-alignment. Features flat, leveled surface. Is offered in a parallel stacking version with stacking heights of 15, 20, 25 and 30mm, as well as a right-angle mating type. Both types are available from 20 to 140 positions and range from 17.4 to 47.4mm in width. Is for industrial and vehicle applications.
