FR 1.27 Board-to-Board Connectors

The Phoenix Contact design team evaluated the design of the standard FP 1.27 and determined that with a redesign of the contact system, the performance of the product could be significantly enhanced. This redesign created the FR 1.27 product family. The product itself was enhanced in several ways. The current rating per contact has increased from 1.4 A to 2.3 A, allowing the connector to be used for higher-power applications. More position sizes, both smaller and larger, were also added. The largest improvement to the part is an increase in the data rate from 3 Gbps to 28 Gbps. Phoenix Contact is the first supplier to reach 28 Gbps in this size connector in this industry.
