TE Connectivity Free Height Series Straight Surface Mount PCB Header, 80 Contact(s), 0.5mm Pitch, 2 Row(s), Shrouded

0.8 mm Free Height (FH) board to board or mezzanine SMT plug connectors for use in parallel board stacking applications. These FH PCB plug connectors have a high density 0.8 mm centreline design which offers significant space saving on the PCB. The contacts of these FH connectors have a bellows type spring design that is resistant to scooping and stubbing during mating and unmating. This contact design provides a reliable electrical connection and strong signal integrity. These 0.8 mm FH plugs feature polarization to ensure accurate mating and PCB positioning bosses for accurate placement on the PCB. A range of board to board stack heights from 5 mm to 20 mm can be achieved when mated with various board mount receptacle heights.

• Compact, high density spacing saving design
• Wide range of stack heights from 5 mm to 20 mm
• Contact design for reliable electrical connection & strong signal integrity
• Polarized housings to prevent mis-mating
• Locating bosses for accurate placement on PCB

These 0.8mm FH SMT header connectors are ideal for downsizing applications that require parallel stacked PCBs in high-end computer, telecommunications, industrial, military and aerospace industries. Applications include test cards and card extenders, communications equipment and any electronic equipment that requires miniature connector packing

Stack height = [(Receptacle height + Plug height) - 5]

Tyco Electronics 0.8mm FH surface-mount connectors are designed for parallel board stacking applications using subminiature connectors to meet today’s electronic industry requirements for high density packaging. It is possible to save more than 50% of the required board space when com- pared to conventional 1.27 [.050] centerline connectors. 0.8mm FH connectors are ideally suited for application downsizing, such as note- book PCs, pen pads, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment requiring miniature connec- tor packaging. Vertical board-mount plugs and receptacles are avail- able. By mating combinations of plug and receptacle housing heights, board-to- board stacking heights from 5 [.197] to 16 [.630] (in 1 [.039] increments) can be achieved. The receptacles are preloaded with the Tyco Electronics unique bellows-type spring contacts for reliable electrical connection with the plugs. In addition, right angle plugs are available which mate to standard receptacles.
