Fully modular receptacle system enables a wide variety of connections

TTI Europe are now stocking Minitek 2mm receptacles from Amphenol FCI. These receptacles are a fully modular system enabling all types of connections between PCBs, wires and flat cables. The 2mm spacing allows up to 38% space saving compared to traditional modular systems. The components are available in single or double row format with two up to 25 positions per row and in vertical and horizontal configurations. Low profile versions with only 2.3mm height are also available. The devices have been designed for automotive, medical, and industrial/instrumentation applications such as server drive and PLC. The receptacles benefit from an eject latch and active latch feature. A dual beam contact design ensures highly reliable connections. Suitable for reflow soldering processes, the products feature a double solder tail on each pitch facilitating automatic placement with no orientation constraint.
