FCI now offers a 0.20mm pitch FPC connector with a 0.90mm height. The XL-series 0.20mm pitch FPC connector can withstand high cable-retention forces, making it ideal for consumer applications including mobile phones, smart phones, digital still cameras and other miniature consumer applications.  "The miniaturization trend within the consumer segment is one of the driving forces behind development of an even smaller-pitch, lower-height flex connector design," said Akira Nakia, global product line director, FCI.  The connector's flipping actuator facilitates secure cable assembly with click actuation, and the XL-Series devices are available with cable lock. FCI integrated these features into the new connector design to ensure compatibility for automotive multimedia applications.

The XL-Series is currently available in a 29-contact version and can be assembled with a 0.2mm-thick FPC cable. Various other contact versions will soon be available.

FCI's AirMax VS® connector system gives designers the freedom to rethink the way backplane systems are designed.  Based on a radical design concept, AirMax VS® (Virtual Shield) connectors eliminate the need for interleaving ground shields by using air as a highly efficient dielectric. The real beauty of the AirMax VS^® connector system lies in the flexibility it gives to board layouts. With connectors available in both 2 and 3 mm centerlines designers are able to simplify signal routing. The scalability of the connector solution means that backplane systems designed for 3.125 – 6.25 Gb/s can be upgraded to 12.5 Gb/s operation without redesigning the basic platform. At such speed, the AirMax VS^® connector demonstrates exceptionally low insertion loss and crosstalk characteristics.  Check out Newark's extensive Airmax VS inventory  !

FCI's High Power Card Edge (HPCE^™) connector is designed for demanding applications requiring high linear current density and low power loss.

HPCE^™

• Offers a low profile height (≤ 7.50mm) and is based on very cost effective and highly reliable stamped-and-formed power contact technology similar to other power solutions from FCI.
• Incorporates an innovative power contact and housing design that permits a more compact and lower profile package for demanding AC and DC power supply and/or add-in card applications. HPCE’s low profile height (for maximized airflow), significantly increased linear current density and low contact resistance characteristics are ideal for next generation 1U/2U servers, storage enclosures, telecommunications equipment and datacom/networking equipment.
• Is available with power and signal contacts integrated into a single molded housing for power distribution and power control. Similar to other FCI power solutions, HPCE™ is modularly tooled, making the product highly configurable in terms of the number and placement of the power and signal contacts for custom power needs.
