The ODU Mini-Fix card-to-cable connector can now be used with flexfoils in addition to ribbon cables.
Based on a 1.27mm x 2.54mm contact grid the connector is available in 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 way.
It has been designed for high mating cycles, has a contact resistance of <6mOhm, a mating force of 0.18N/contact and has excellent impedance values.
Two types of latching are available if required; plastic side levers giving the component an assembly height of 12.7mm or a metal clip that reduces the assembly height to only 9mm.
Items in the range include straight and angled solder-in headers, straight SMT headers, IDC sockets to mate with the headers and solder-in PCB connectors.
