Board-Level Connectors

FCI Basics Smart Card connectors are 8- or 16-pin connectors primarily used as full-size smart card readers. These are deployed in health, social security, ID cards, and credit card "chip-and-pin" schemes. These products also account for durability with a very large number of mating cycles.

The SMASH connector offers extremely high robustness where signal integrity is required. Based on an aluminum shell with 1, 2, or 3 bays, the SMASH connector can house up to 450 contacts. The chevron grid pattern provides high contact density for advanced electronics packaging. The metallic shell is equipped with grounding, guide pins, and keying devices to ensure mechanical reliability.

Amphenol CDI Surface Mount PCB Connectors provide reliable RF signal transmission with a compact, low-profile design for direct PCB integration. These connectors offer excellent electrical performance, making them ideal for aerospace, military, space, and industrial applications where board space and high-frequency integrity are critical.

Wedge locks for use with SIAL, SIHD, and 804SLD series.

With precision-machined contacts and a thru-hole soldering design, these connectors ensure excellent impedance control, low insertion loss, and enhanced durability. Their robust construction allows for strong retention to the PCB, providing a long-lasting and stable connection in high-frequency environments.

The TwinMate® 2.54 mm connectors set a new standard in tuning fork contact design. With an optimized and refined structure, they minimize stress on Solder Tail headers while maintaining reliable electrical performance that meets industry standards. Next-generation tuning fork design: Reduces solder tail wear and extends lifecycle.

The Ultra High Density (UHD) interconnect is a high-reliability packaging solution for airborne, space, shipboard, and ground-based applications. With 80 contacts per linear inch, the UHD connector is tested and qualified to DSCC 89065. A modular approach allows for straightforward incorporation of signal, power, coax, and fiber-optic inserts, as well as EMI shielding.

Amphenol's ultra-high mating cycle, solderless, 287-terminal DDR5 connectors are ideal for applications requiring extremely high mating and unmating cycles of up to 100,000 connections. The solderless process allows the connector to be replaced with minimal damage to the PCB, thus avoiding equipment downtime.

MEMORY CARD CONNECTOR IN A NEXT-GENERATION HIGH-SPEED FORM FACTOR Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Connector is a 19-pin connector with a high read/write and transmission speed that is faster than existing memory card types. The connector is designed to meet higher speeds and storage capacity in commercial and non-commercial devices.

Viper connectors offer a ruggedized VPX-compliant interconnect solution capable of up to 10 Gbps. With 63 differential signals per linear inch, this high-density connector system was developed to meet current and future requirements for high speed in high-level vibration and mechanical shock environments. Footprint compatible with VITA 46 connectors to leverage existing module card designs.
