The FX23 series has been introduced to meet the requirement for floating connectors that can handle high current ratings and high-speed transmission.
The connector range consists of headers and receptacles that allow a parallel or right angle board-to-board connection.
The header has a unique floating structure embedded inside the fixed base of the housing. This allows an alignment movement in XY directions of +/- 0.6mm minimum (max) to absorb mounting misalignment.
High speed transmission of up to 8 Gbps (max) is supported by the innovative contact design to ensure impedance-matching. The ground contacts are situated between the adjacent differential pair contacts to reduce crosstalk for better performance.
The connector has a hybrid structure featuring power and signal contacts. Four built-in power contacts that can carry up to 3A (Amps) current rating each are located along the mating guides to save space. The signal contacts can carry 0.5A each.
FX23 series is part of the FunctionMAX product family. FunctionMAX consists of board-to-board connectors designed to meet the requirements of the industrial market with maximum functionality.
