Board connectors and contacts for rugged use
22 March 2006
Interconnection
Samtec offers new Tiger Eye Contacts to satisfy a variety of rugged interface applications. These Micro Tiger Eye contacts are multifinger, precision stamped and formed, beryllium copper contacts that are heat-treated to optimise spring properties for maximum cycles in high reliability applications.
The contacts are available in 1,27 mm pitch and 2 mm pitch connector sets and in IDC cable systems. They have been tested at up to 10 000 cycles with optional palladium nickel plating. Lower cost phosphor bronze versions (Tiger Eye Lite) are also available with many of the same features.
Connector families include polarised and shrouded systems (SFM/TFM Series), friction lock systems (SFML/TFML Series), right angle systems (SFMH/FSH Series), and four row systems (ROLC/FOLC Series). They can be specified with either surface mount or though hole terminations with a variety of lead counts and as many as 200 I/Os.
Cable systems (FFSD/TCSD Series) are available with mating shrouded ejector headers on 1,27 mm and 2 mm pitch with locking caps for added durability.
