Featured FCI Products
FCI High Power Card Edge Connectors
FCI´s High Power Card Edge (HPCE™) Connector is the next generation power card edge connector that satisfies the demands of applications requiring high linear current density and low power loss. The HPCE connector offers a low profile height (2.8 mm for straddle mount; 7.50 mm for right angle) and is based on FCI's cost effective and highly reliable stamped-and-formed power contact technology. Rated to 9A per power contact beam (with multiple power contacts fully energized) without exceeding a 30ºC temperature rise in still air. The FCI HPCE connector is available with a single molded housing that integrates power and signal contacts for power distribution and control. The HPCE connector is modularly tooled enabling it to be to be highly configurable for custom power designs in terms of the number and placement of power and signal contacts. Ideal for pluggable AC and DC power supplies or board-to-board connections for power distribution in applications such as next generation 1U/2U servers, storage enclosures, telecommunications equipment, and datacom/networking equipment.
Micro-USB Connectors
The FCI Micro-USB Connector is the must-have tool in a multimedia device market. Extremely small in size, these high reliability connectors comply with physical, electrical and environmental requirements of Micro-USB standard (USB 2.0) and offer other significant features and benefits, including receptacle and plug styles and high durability. FCI Micro-USB Connector receptacles and plugs are available in a wide variety of mounting and termination configurations for use in various applications, such as portable music players and mobile phones. FCI's IO-Connections portfolio provides customers access to a wide range of industry-standard and application-specific I/O interconnect solutions.
FCI MINITEK 127 1.27mm Connectors
The FCI MINITEK 127™ 1.27mm Connector System contains an extensive modular range of connectors for
all types of wire to board and cable to board applications. It includes
straight and right angle, surface mount and through mount, different
plating variations, and pin counts up to 100 positions. The FCI MINITEK 127™ 1.27mm Connector System
is not a proprietary system and is therefore intermateable with other
common designs. Housed in high-temperature, black thermoplastic, the MINITEK 127™
series features a flammability rating of UL 94 V-0 and an operating
temperature range from -40ºC to +85ºC. The electrical current rating is
1 A continuous and the voltage rating is 125V.

FCI DDR3 Memory Module Sockets
The FCI DDR3 Memory Module Sockets are designed to accept 240-position DDR3 memory modules as per JEDEC MO-269. FCI´s DDR3 memory sockets are available in low-contact resistance versions that support the use of RDIMM. The very low profile (VLP) form factor option provides an overall connector height of less than 20.6mm and complies to the JEDEC SO-007 specifications. The FCI DDR3 Memory Module Sockets
allow convenient memory expansion in servers, workstations, desktop
PCs, mobile PCs, and embedded applications in communications and
industrial equipment.
FCI USB A & B 2.0 Connectors
The FCI USB A & B 2.0 Connectors achieve speeds up to 480 Mb/sec and are keyed and color-coded for different voltages. The FCI USB A & B 2.0 Connectors offer 12,000 high durability cycles to meet high-end applications. Available in through-hole and SMT versions, the USB Connectors feature PCB mounting options by position, orientation, and hold-down. The FCI USB A & B 2.0 Connectors are commonly used as a standard I/O connection in industrial, instrumentation, medical, and automotive industry applications.
FCI DDR2 Memory Module Sockets
The FCI DDR2 Memory Module Sockets accept industry-standard FB-DIMM, DIMM, or SO-DIMM assemblies. The 240-position vertical connectors for the DDR2 Fully Buffered DIMM feature 1.0mm pitch dual-row edge contacts and accept modules that confirm to JEDEC MO-256. The 240-position, 1.0mm pitch module interface, vertical sockets for DDR2 dual in-line memory modules (DIMM) accept assemblies that confirm to JEDEC MO-237. The 200-position right-angle sockets (0.6mm pitch) accept DDR2 Small Outline DIMM per JEDEC MO-224 and the 144-position right-angle SO-DIMM socket for 16b/32b peripheral applications accepts DIMM assemblies compliant with new JEDEC registered outlines. The FCI DDR2 Memory Modules Sockets allow convenient memory expansion in servers, workstations, desktop PCs, mobile PCs, and embedded applications in communications and industrial equipment.
FCI PwrBlade® Cable Assemblies and Connector System
FCI´s PwrBlade® Cable Assemblies and Connector System include power and signal contacts to provide power distribution and power control in a single connector. The PwrBlade power distribution connector system is ideal for robust power connections to embedded AC/DC power supplies or for board-to-board connections in servers, storage enclosures, and communications equipment. The FCI´s PwrBlade cable assemblies mate with PwrBlade right-angle or vertical board-mounted headers.
FCI VLP Series - Industry's Lowest Profile FFC/FPC
