FCI Introduces RotaConnect™ - A Rotatable Board-to-Board Connector That Can Be Adjusted to Any Angle Between +90° and -60°

FCI has developed a hermaphroditic board-to-board connector that can be rotated to any angle between +90° and -60°.

The RotaConnect™ rotatable board to board connector offers significant design flexibility as the same connector is capable of providing perpendicular, co-planar, or angled interconnect solutions. The hermaphroditic board-to-board connector, which mates to itself can also be placed anywhere on the PCB, further expanding design options.

The RotaConnect™ connector features a dual beam spring contact design, delivering high-performance and reliability. Designed with a passive latch for housing retention, the rotatable board-to-board connector’s housing protects the pins and prevents mis-mating. Available with optional side brackets for increased PCB retention and optional pegs for location, the connector supports multiple mating and un-mating directions with Y and Z directional floating allowance.

“The RotaConnect™ has a unique header contact design that contains a coined hole that enables 150 degrees of rotation to deliver the required mating and connection angle for demanding applications,” said Verghese John, Sr. Manager (Product Management) for RotaConnect™ connectors. “In addition, our rotatable board-to-board SMT connector does not ‘float’ during reflow soldering, making it a more powerful option for our customers.”

Featuring a 3.00mm pitch, these high power board-to-board connectors are available in positions ranging from 2 up to 14 (increments of 2). RotaConnect™ is rated up to 5A with an operating voltage of 125V AC and a temperature range of -40°C up to +125°C.

RotaConnect™ connector is ideal for control boards, sensors, actuators, rigid LED strips, and automotive electronics.
