FX18 </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">delivers an impressive 10 Gbps of high speed transmission and supports </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">PCI - Express Ver. 2.0.</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">The innovative structure of the connector features advanced multi functional contacts </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">which consist of ground contacts, power supply contacts and 3 step sequential contacts. The ground contacts provide superior enhanced grounding properties and are strategically positioned next to the </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">differential pair contacts to reduce crosstalk. The power supply contacts offers up to 3 Amps per pin which means that the signal contacts do not have to be used for power and the pin count requirement can be reduced saving valuable space. A total of 12 Amps can be used. The 3 step sequential contacts are set back in different positions within the housing, the ground contacts make first contact followed next by the signal contacts and then the contacts for detection of the mating contacts. </span></div><div class="shape" style="padding:2.88pt;"> </div><div class="shape" style="padding:2.88pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">The FX18 series consists of right angle receptacles and straight or right angle headers in 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 or 140 surface mount contacts. A further six through hole pins are provided to increase the PCB </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">retention force of the connector allowing strong resistance to wrenching forces. Large mating guides are provided on the header to provide smoother and more secure user friendly mating operation. </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Mis-insertion is prevented with keyed guides with integral chamfers. The mounting process has been simplified with benefits such as visible solder joints, space for rework and the option of pin in hole </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">intrusive reflow to reduce manual soldering process time. </span></div><div class="shape" style="padding:2.88pt;"> </div><div class="shape" style="padding:2.88pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Suitable applications are medical devices, base transmission stations, LCD TV, LCD displays and </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">industrial controllers.</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></div><div class="shape" style="padding:2.88pt;"> </div><div class="shape" style="padding:2.88pt;"> </div> <div class="migration-injected-attachments"><div style="font-weight:bold;margin:15px 0 5px 0;">Attachments:</div><div></div><table style="border:0;"><tbody><tr><td width="160"><span class="_se_attachment" id="attid_https://www.element14.com/community/api/core/v3/attachments/6393"><a href="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-34/FX18-Press-Release.pdf">community.element14.com/.../FX18-Press-Release.pdf</a></span></td><td><span style="font-size:80%;">FX18 Press Release.pdf</span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: at:npi, high_speed, hirose, board_to_board, hrs</div>
