The FX16 Series offers high-speed wire-to-board connectivity with support for signal transmission up to 6Gbps, making it ideal for next-generation applications. This series is V-By-One HS compatible, recommended by Thine Electronics, Inc. for its outstanding signal integrity at 3.75Gb/s. Key features include a patented flip-lock harness for simplified FFC assembly without soldering, a vertical cable plug for a low profile (8mm mated height), and multiple variations in plug style, cable type, and position count. These connectors are RoHS compliant.
