Raycon Technology, Inc. introduces a new line of 2mm hard metric connectors designed to meet IEC 61076-4-101. These connectors are ideal for use in high-speed data, telephony, and Compact PCI applications.

The male connectors within Raycon's hard metric connector system are available in a variety of different sizes up to 175 signal contacts evenly disbursed on a 2.0 mm grid. Raycon offers 12 different sizes of male contacts with up to 3 different mating lengths and 4 different tail lengths, allowing the use of optional shrouds for mid-plane applications. Additionally, Raycon offers 5+2 version connectors with 5 rows of signal contacts and 2 rows of shielding contacts, which are used for grounding purposes. Raycon's type A, L, and M male connectors are designed to accept a center-coding key to prevent any possible errors during the mating cycle.

The female 2mm Receptacles support up to 125 signal contacts and can be custom loaded based on customer requirements. Receptacles can be ordered with pre-installed upper shields to prevent electrical interference from surrounding components. Also available are bottom shields, which can be ordered separately and are installed by the customer after termination to the printed circuit board. Female type A, L, and M receptacles are also designed to accept center-coding keys.
