FunctionMAX FX8 and FX8C 0.6 mm SMT connectors for parallel board to board connections. These FunctionMAX FX8 and FX8C connectors have a high-speed transmission capability of up to 3.125 Gbit/s with excellent signal integrity properties. The built-in mating guide ribs of these high-speed FX8 connectors allow for a self-alignment tolerance of +/- 0.6 mm making mating easier and allowing flexibility in design. These high-speed FX8 BTB connectors feature guide posts on the bottom with differing diameters and positioning to aid alignment on the PCB and to prevent misinsertion. The contacts of these FX8 BTB connectors have an optimized spring deflection design for increased reliability.
