Frequently asked questions


Can I transmit power via the shielding plate?

Yes, in addition to the function of EMC improvement through shielding, you can also use the shielding plates for power transmission.

Yes, in addition to the function of EMC improvement through shielding, you can also use the shielding plates for power transmission.
Example: The 80-pos. version can transmit an additional 16 A per shielding plate side. This results in a total of 168 A per connector (2 x 16 A + 80 x 1.7 A = 168 A).
In addition, it is possible to partially energize the board-to-board connector, which enables higher currents per contact. This connection can therefore also be described as a hybrid connection - without special power contacts, but with use of the shielding plates.

How can the solder contacts be inspected after reflow soldering?

SH (shielded) and SL (short layout, unshielded) versions: CT scan or X-ray analysis required, as the contacts are located under the component.
AOI (unshielded) versions: AOI-capable, as the contacts are routed out and visible.

ScaleX is our registered technology trademark for a patented contact system. The unique double contact ensures a reliable, robust connection with two contact points. The contacts are extremely well protected in the housing and offer high tolerance compensation during insertion, which promotes the longevity of the connection. Even in the inserted state, outstanding tolerance compensation of ± 0.3 mm is possible and several connectors can be placed on one PCB. This is a particularly valuable feature of ScaleX technology and enables completely new device designs.

A key feature of the FP 0,8 series is the ability to arrange several board-to-board connectors on one PCB. This enables new flexibility in device design. The basis for this is high tolerance compensation both during inserting and in the inserted state. Thanks to ScaleX technology, the FP 0,8 is a versatile specialist in terms of robustness, flexibility, and variability. The system is characterized by high data transmission rates of up to 52 Gbps and a current carrying capacity of 1.7 A per contact (at 20°C). The shielded (SH) and unshielded (SL) versions with the same footprint enable flexible PCB layout design without adaptation when changing versions.

With which numbers of positions is the FP 0,8 board-to-board connector available?

The FP 0,8 product family is available with five different numbers of positions (12, 20, 32, 52, and 80), each as a shielded or unshielded version. Other numbers of positions are available on request.


Are the different item versions from the FP 0,8 series compatible with regard to the footprint?

The items from the unshielded FP 0,8-SL series are compatible with the footprint of the shielded FP 0,8-SH items. It is therefore possible to switch flexibly between items from the FP 0,8-SH and FP 0,8-SL series without having to adapt the PCB layout... View more

No, the specified data transmission rate refers to an example combination. It may vary depending on the item combination. Factors such as different stack heights - due to longer or shorter contacts - influence the signal quality and thus the achievable data rate. We can work with you to optimize high-speed data transmission for individual applications. Feel free to contact us.

Position a1 (row a, pin 1) is marked on the item. Position 1 is also marked in the TecDoc drawings (product family drawing and packaging drawing). The orientation of the item for PCB assembly and the plug-in direction are thus clearly defined. The customer can provide a different definition in its own documentation.

Where can I find information on extended air clearances and creepage distances to realize the necessary voltage requirements in my application?

The minimum distances are specified in the technical data. We are happy to calculate distances for partially assembled connectors or between omitted pins (so-called death metal parts) on request. This means that increased voltage requirements can also be realized.


Can I also achieve higher nominal currents than 1.7 A per contact?

Yes, the nominal current is 1.7 A per contact for a fully energized, 80-pos. connector at an ambient temperature of 20°C. For an 80-pos. version with 1.7 A per contact, for example, this means a total of 80 x 1.7 A = 136 A. The derating curve shows t... View more

Yes, the nominal current is 1.7 A per contact for a fully energized, 80-pos. connector at an ambient temperature of 20°C. For an 80-pos. version with 1.7 A per contact, for example, this means a total of 80 x 1.7 A = 136 A. The derating curve shows the temperature-dependent current carrying capacity for different numbers of positions. In practice, selective pins are often energized, which achieves even higher currents per contact. Example: With selective energization of four contacts, 3.9 A per contact can be achieved, i.e. a total of 4 x 3.9 A = 15.6 A.
The shielded item version is also suitable for current transmission via the two shielding plates on the side of the item, so that 16 A can be transmitted per shielding plate in an 80-pos. version. A derating curve for the shielding plate can also be found in the technical data.
