Minitek® is Amphenol FCI’s brand for board-to-board and

cable/wire-to-board connectors in 2.00mm (0.079µin.)

pitch. Amphenol FCI is the leading supplier of this type of

modular system and continues to grow and expand it. A new

eject latch header is now being added to this series. This

header securely latches the receptacle in place and also

enables simple ejection. Four walled shielding protects pins

in unmated condition.

To prevent mismating, the eject latch header is equipped

with polarization keys. Recessed pins ensure proper

alignment, eliminate damage during mating, and maintain

high pin retention to the housing during repeated mating

cycles.

The eject latch header has a very compact product design.

It is made from thermoplastic compatible with reflow

applications. The latches are specifically designed to

minimize space requirements on the printed circuit board.

The part mates with the Minitek® IDC receptacle.
