Micro-pitch board-to-board connector supports high data-transfer rates in industrial equipment
For industrial applications such as servo motors, drives, and measurement instruments, the Hirose miniature ER8 connectors feature a rugged design and support for high data-transmission speeds of more than 16Gbits/s.
The ER8 series is a licensed second source for the Samtec Edge Rate® series of connectors.
Featuring a low pitch of 0.8mm, the ER8 series of connectors is optimized for signal integrity, to ensure reliable high-speed performance. The connectors offer a wide self-alignment range of ±1.6mm and a lower mating force than competing micro-pitch connectors, while maintaining higher extraction forces. In addition, the ER8 series connectors have an increased contact wipe and insertion depth, making them ideal for industrial applications that require a high number of mating cycles and good resistance to shock and vibration.
The ER8 series is available in parallel mezzanine, and right-angle versions. The vertical connectors are offered with pin counts ranging from ten to 120 positions, while the right-angle model is offered with a 140-position pin count. Featuring vertical stacking heights from 7mm to 12mm, the ER8 meets the size requirements of the latest generation of industrial equipment.
