Overview

The FX20-120S-0.5SV is a 120-position board-to-board receptacle designed by Hirose Electric for high-density, high-reliability electronic assemblies. Featuring a 0.5mm pitch and a center strip contact design, it supports mated stacking heights of 15mm and 20mm with a surface-mount footprint. This connector is rated for 0.5A per contact and provides a secure electrical connection with gold-plated contacts.

Why Choose This Part

The connector features a floating structure that absorbs mounting misalignment, reducing stress on solder joints during mating. Its gold-plated center strip contacts provide a low contact resistance of 70 mohm while maintaining durability for up to 50 mating cycles. Additionally, integrated solder retention features ensure mechanical stability on the PCB during vibration and thermal cycling.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
Reliable board stacking for PLCs and industrial automation modules that require high pin counts in a compact form factor.
Telecommunications Infrastructure
Used for connecting daughter cards to backplanes in networking hardware requiring signal integrity and 0.5mm pitch spacing.
Medical Imaging Equipment
Suitable for high-density signal routing within diagnostic devices where gold plating ensures long-term contact reliability.
