SPOX BMI connectors offer self-aligning features in one of
the smallest blind-mate packages available
The unique low-profile design of the SPOX Blind-mate
Interface (BMI) allows for a mated stack distance of only
11.00mm (.430”). Utilizing proven SPOX-style contacts
for high reliability, the products are suitable for
situations requiring highly reliable Tin interfaces. The
unique dual-row panel-mounting design provides rugged
support for blind-mating applications and permits up to
3.00mm (.120”) of misalignment between connectors
prior to engagement. Multiple pin counts permit design
flexibility and provide for both power and signal
circuitry.
These dual-row 2.50mm (.098”) products are not
intermateable with the conventional single-row 2.50mm
(.098”) products.
Features and Benefits
I
Headers are molded in LCP high-temperature plastic
meeting Lead-free processing requirements
I
Panel mounting feature permits up to 3.00mm
(.120”) misalignment in horizontal and vertical
directions and blind-mating of products as
connectors can self-align
I
First-mate/last-break circuits provide sequential
engagement of contacts for design flexibility
I
Robust alignment features virtually eliminate
contact damage
