Hirose has developed the FunctionMAX group, a versatile BTB connector family that features specialised floating alignment capability and/or high-speed transmission. The FunctionMAX BTB connector family includes connector series that are available in various configurations including vertical/mezzanine, right angle/riser card and coplanar.

These series are designed to meet the demands of the industrial, medical, communication and other markets with maximum functionality. Particularly beneficial when multiple connectors are used on the same PCB, innovative floating structures in selected FunctionMAX connectors offer a degree of play between the contacts during mating and allow the connector to absorb alignment errors.

Ensuring correct and safe mating, the floating contacts self-centre in both the X and Y directions. This floating feature of the connectors also eliminates stress imparted by mounting placement errors. Reducing the stress on mounted parts significantly decreases solder cracking and enhances reliability.

By simplifying mating, the floating functionality also saves considerable assembly time and costs. Some members of the connector family are designed with a differential transmission system that offers excellent noise resistance and signal integrity to deliver high-speed signals. Providing high-speed transmission up to 15GB/s, the connectors ensure impedance-matching and low insertion loss.

The connectors are suited for use in medical devices, office imaging equipment, measurement equipment, industrial computer systems, automotive navigation and audio systems, broadcast equipment, base station transceivers, industrial machinery and more.
