The **FX1-36-R** is a specific electronic component, typically categorized as a **High-Density Board-to-Board Connector** manufactured by **Hirose Electric**. It is designed for high-speed signal transmission and compact electronic assemblies. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core electrical and physical parameters of the FX1-36-R: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | FX1 Series | | **Number of Positions** | 36 Pins | | **Pitch** | 1.27mm (0.050") | | **Connector Type** | Receptacle (Female) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole (Right Angle) | | **Current Rating** | 0.5A per contact | | **Voltage Rating** | 125V AC | | **Contact Resistance** | 35 mΩ Max | | **Termination Method** | Solder | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Features ### High-Density Design The 1.27mm pitch allows for a high concentration of signals in a small footprint. This is essential for modern PCBs where space is at a premium. ### Signal Integrity The FX1 series is engineered to maintain signal integrity. It often includes: * **Staggered Pin Layout:** To reduce crosstalk between adjacent signals. * **Grounding Plates:** Some variations include metal shielding to prevent Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). ### Durability and Contact Reliability * **Gold Plating:** The contacts are typically plated with gold over nickel to prevent oxidation and ensure a low-resistance connection over hundreds of mating cycles. * **Ribbon-type Contacts:** These provide a larger contact area and are more resistant to twisting or bending during manual mating. --- ## 3. Applications The FX1-36-R is commonly found in industrial and professional-grade electronics, including: 1. **Industrial Automation:** Connecting PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) modules to backplanes. 2. **Medical Equipment:** Internal data transfer between imaging sensor boards and processing units. 3. **Telecommunications:** Used in networking switches and routers for daughtercard-to-motherboard connections. 4. **Test & Measurement:** High-density interfacing for oscilloscope or logic analyzer expansion modules. --- ## 4.
