BOARD/WIRE-TO-BOARD CONNECTORS ROTACONNECT(R) ROTATABLE BOARD-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR OVERVIEW FCI extends the RotaConnect(R) Board-to-Board (BTB) range with a pegged version. The locating pegs aid simple placement. This eliminates the hold-down and hence will help customer save the space between connectors on the PCB. The RotaConnect(R) BTB range is a unique rotatable Board-toBoard SMT connector that can be used to support perpendicular, coplanar and angled connections, in multiple mating and unmating directions. The hermaphroditic "mates to itself" design enables mating at any angle between +90 and -60, enabling the connectors to be placed anywhere on the PCB. This design allows the use of a single part number which will comprise both male and female contacts. The high temperature grade housing material is reflow solder compatible. Tape and reel packaging permits vacuum pick and place application. With this extension, FCI's RotaConnect (R) BTB range offers 2 and 4 positions with hold-down and locating peg options. FEATURES BENEFITS * Hermaphroditic "mates to itself" design * Eliminates the need for both a header and receptacle for Board-to-Board applications * Mates under any angle +90 and -60 * Angled connection is not an issue, as connectors can be placed anywhere on the PCB * Header contact contains a coined hole, the center of the hole * Connection Reliability is the intended rotation point * Reliable dual beam contact * Receptacle contact will guide itself into the center of the hole * Self-guided features prevent mis-mating and assure correct counterpart positioning * Pins are protected by housing * Prevents pin damage during connector mating * Hold-down option * Better retention onto the PCB * Locating peg option * Simplify positioning even in manual assembly condition ROTACONNECT(R) ROTATABLE BOARD-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR technical information MATERIALS SPECIFICATIONS * Housing: High-Temperature thermoplastic UL94V-0 * Test specifications EIA 364 and IEC test methods * Contact: Copper Alloy APPROVALS AND CERTIFICATIONS * Plating: GXTTM * UL E66906 ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE PACKAGING * Current Rating: up to 5A * Tape and Reel * Operating Voltage: 125V TARGET MARKET/APPLICATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL * Industrial * Operating Temperature: -40C to +125C * Control boards MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE * Sensors, Actuators * Durability : 20 mating cycles * Rigid LED strips * Mating Angle: between +90 and -60 * Automotive lighting * Channel lettering * Lighting luminaries PART NUMBERS No. of Contacts Termination 2 Position Hermaphroditic Rotatable Board-To-Board Connector Contact Type 2 SMT 1 Male, 1 Female 10120045-200LF 2 Position Hermaphroditic Rotatable Board-To-Board Connector with Locating Pegs 2 SMT 1 Male, 1 Female 10120045-201LF 4 Position Hermaphroditic Rotatable Board-To-Board Connector 4 SMT 2 Male, 2 Female 10120045-400LF 4 Position Hermaphroditic Rotatable Board-To-Board Connector with Locating Pegs 4 SMT 2 Male, 2 Female 10120045-401LF Part Number BWBRBTBPEG0515EA4 Description For more information, please contact: Communications@fci.com or visit us at www.fci.com Disclaimer Please note that the above information is subject to change without notice.
