The **FP2-S068-R** is a high-performance, shielded board-to-board (BTB) connector manufactured by **JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)**. It belongs to the **FP2 Series**, which is designed for high-speed differential signal transmission. --- ### ## 1. Key Technical Specifications The FP2-S068-R is specifically the **socket** (receptacle) side of the connector pair. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Number of Contacts** | 68 Pins | | **Pitch** | 0.8 mm | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMT) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle | | **Shielding** | Fully Shielded (Metal Shell) | | **Data Rate** | Up to 10 Gbps+ (High-speed differential) | | **Contact Finish** | Gold Plating over Nickel | --- ### ## 2. Core Electronic Components & Design #### **A. High-Speed Transmission Structure** The internal contacts are arranged to minimize impedance mismatch. This makes the connector suitable for protocols such as: * **PCI Express (Gen 3/4)** * **SATA/SAS** * **USB 3.0/3.1** #### **B. EMI/EMC Shielding** The "R" in the suffix often denotes specific packaging or shielding configurations. The metal shell provides: 1. **Grounding:** Multiple points of contact to the PCB ground plane. 2. **Noise Reduction:** Protects sensitive signals from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). #### **C. Mechanical Durability** * **Robustness:** The metal shell acts as a reinforcement, preventing damage during "blind mating" or high-vibration environments. * **Alignment:** Features built-in guide posts to ensure the male plug aligns perfectly with the female socket before the pins touch. --- ### ## 3. Typical Applications The FP2-S068-R is commonly found in industrial and telecommunications hardware: * **Server Blades:** Connecting daughter cards to a backplane. * **Medical Equipment:** High-resolution imaging data transfer. * **Networking Switches:** High-density port management. * **Industrial PC (IPC):** Modular expansion slots. --- ### ## 4. Connection Logic To use this part effectively, it must be paired with its corresponding plug (usually from the **FP2-P** series). ```yaml Connection_Pair: Socket: FP2-S068-R (Receptacle) Plug: FP2-P068-X (Plug - Height varies) Interface: 0.8mm Pitch Parallel or Perpendicular ```
