Hirose developed FunctionMAX, a general-purpose board-to-board connector series with specialized floating alignment and / or high-speed transmission functions. The FunctionMAX board-to-board connector series includes a variety of connector series, which can provide a variety of configurations, including vertical / mezzanine, right-angle / riser card and coplanar, designed to maximize the needs of industrial, medical, communications and other markets Features.
When using multiple connectors on the same PCB, it is particularly beneficial that the innovative floating structure in the selected FunctionMAX connector can provide a degree of clearance between the contacts during mating and allow the connector to absorb Alignment error. To ensure a correct and safe fit, the floating contacts are self-centering in both the X and Y directions. The floating function of the FunctionMAX connector also eliminates the stress caused by the wrong installation position. Reducing stress on mounting parts can significantly reduce solder cracking and enhance reliability. By simplifying the fit, the floating function also saves considerable assembly time and cost.
Some members of the FunctionMAX connector family have designed differential transmission systems that have excellent noise immunity and signal integrity, and can transmit high-speed signals. These connectors provide high-speed transmission up to 15GB, which ensures impedance matching and low insertion loss.
The company said that the FunctionMAX connector is particularly suitable for medical equipment, office imaging equipment, measuring equipment, industrial computer systems, car navigation and audio systems, broadcasting equipment, base station transceivers, and industrial machinery.
"Optimized for functions and functions, the FunctionMAX board-to-board connector series consists of Hirose's top industrial connector products, which are designed to provide advanced technology for the technology in demanding equipment and systems," Hirose Electric Deputy Sales and Marketing President Rick van Weezel said. United States. "Although traditional board-to-board connectors can only be used if the centerline is perfectly aligned, the FunctionMAX connector with our unique floating contact structure provides matching flexibility and alignment error compensation.
The FunctionMAX connector series includes seven options: 1 – FX8 series: parallel configuration, 0.6mm pitch, high-speed transmission. 2-FX10 series: parallel configuration, 0.5mm pitch, high-speed transmission of floating design. 3 – FX18 series: parallel, vertical and coplanar versions, 0.8mm pitch, high-speed transmission, mixed power / signal. 4-FX20 series: right angle and parallel versions, with a pitch of 0.5mm, floating design, double contacts. 5 – FX22 series: Coplanar configuration, 0.5mm pitch, floating design, double contacts. 6 – FX23 series: right angle and parallel version, 0.5mm pitch, floating design, high speed transmission, mixed power / signal. 7 – FX30B series: right-angle, parallel and coplanar versions, with pitches from 3.81mm to 7.62mm, floating design, mixed power / signal.
