Phoenix Contact FINEPITCH 0.8 Connectors


As electronic devices shrink in size, the complexity contained inside the housing only increases. Compact device designs require components that aid with design flexibility by allowing designers to position PCBs at the appropriate angles and distances from each other.

The FINEPITCH series of connectors from Phoenix Contact helps by coming in multiple orientations, stack heights, and number of positions. New from Phoenix Contact is an unshielded connector in the FP 0,8 series. This connector is ideal for those applications that do not require electromagnetic compatibility due to EMI concerns.

FEATURES
  • Ruggedized design is suitable for demanding applications.
  • Gold-plated contact ensures reliable data transfer.
  • Double contact system allows for a wipe length of 1.5 mm.
  • Multiple stack heights facilitate wide array of design options.

TECHNICAL DATA
  • Data rates up to 16 Gbps.
  • Up to 80 positions.
  • 0.8 mm pitch.
  • Operating temperature: -55°C to +125°C.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
  • I/Os
  • PLCs
  • Frequency converters
  • Controls
  • HMIs
