These are characterised by their application-oriented and cost-optimised design and are suitable for integration into fully automated SMT processes.

The SMD male and
female strips with a 1.27mm pitch for currents of up to 1 A can be used to realise mezzanine connections. The SMD male and female
strips with a 2.54mm pitch are rated for currents of up to 3 A. With the horizontal and vertical design versions, device manufacturers can
realise mezzanine, coplanar, or mother-daughter arrangements, and therefore create flexible PCB connections for various device applications.

All FQ series board-to-board connectors are suitable for test
voltages of up to 500 V (AC), and the series features solutions for 10 to 80 contacts. The double-sided contact system ensures reliable mechanical and electrical connections.
