Minitek is part of FCI’s Basics+ program. Recent improvements made to the range include the inclusion of the lowest available profile eject latch header and the optional availability of Pin-in-Paste versions which eliminate costly secondary soldering operations. Carefully-controlled selective plating reduces cost while maintaining performance and co-planarity of surface mount parts is maintained at 0.1mm. Normal operating temperature has also been increased to 125°C.
TTI and FCI have built a long history of working together as business partners and developing new business. Comments John Sandy, European Director Supplier Marketing Connectors, TTI, Inc.: “One major advantage for our customers is that the Minitek™ system is fully intermateable. Even the new active latch wire housing is unique in that it is not part of a separate system, but mates with the standard headers. This means that we can support our customers on all types of 2.00mm board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnect solutions. Whatever they need, we have.”
Paul Isaac, program manager at FCI adds: “We are very proud of our new Minitek™ range. Over the last 12 months we really upgraded it, adding new parts and improving existing ones until we now have a board-to-board, wire-to-board and cable-to-board interconnection system that is fully adaptable and yet can also meet the most demanding requirements of our customers.”
