The FI-R series introduces several enhancements for high-speed signalling applications, including a soldered hold-down on the board-mounted connector that delivers greater holding strength and reliable grounding for improved impedance matching. Large mating guides on the plug-side allow fast and accurate assembly in high-volume manufacturing. The connector system also features a mechanical lock designed to prevent mis-mating as well as accidental un-mating.
The JF-04 series pre-configured FPC and connector assemblies are directly compatible with the FI-R series connection system, and are available in seven different lengths from 10cm to 100cm. Combined with the improved signalling capabilities inherent in the FI-R series connectors, the JF04 series assembles are able to support transmission distances up to 1 metre for high-speed signals designed for small voltage excursions, including TMDS as well as LVDS.
The new cables and connectors enable a competitively priced, high-speed interconnect for cost-sensitive, high-performance applications including LCD televisions and other consumer products, and medical electronic devices.
