BOARD-TO-BOARD /
WIRE-TO-BOARD CONNECTORS
QUICKIE
®
PRESS-FIT, SHROUDED HEADERS
for lead-free PCBs
DESCRIPTION
Quickie
®
press-fit, shrouded headers
complement FCI’s comprehensive family of
Quickie ribbon-cable receptacles and solder-
to-board PCB headers. The spring-tension,
“Eye-of-Needle” compliant section reduces
insertion force during connector installation,
thereby minimizing stress on the plated-through
holes during insertion while still providing ample
contact force and connector retention.
The press-fit headers are offered in low-profile,
slimline versions or versions equipped with end
latches. Two latch options are available.
Standard-height latches are compatible with an
IDC receptacle having an installed cable strain
relief. Low-profile latches are designed to
accommodate an IDC receptacle without a
strain relief. The protective shrouds also feature
a polarizing keyway to accommodate the center
key on a corresponding IDC receptacle.
These dual-row headers utilize 0.64mm (0.025”)
square pins spaced on 2.54mm (0.100”) x
2.54mm (0.100”) pitch. Twelve standard
connector sizes provide from 10 to 60 total
contact positions.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
The “Eye-of-Needle” compliant section on pin
termination tails reduces the stress on plated-through
holes during connector insertion to enable easy
installation on lead-free boards
Two-row connectors are available in industry-standard
sizes ranging from 10 to 60 total positions
Molded header shroud protects pins, assists alignment
during mating and provides polarization capability
Versions with standard or low-profile end latches
provide both latching and ejection functionality
Headers with pre-installed latches eliminate the need
for later hand installation of latches
Standard contact finish is 0.76µm (30µ”) gold or GXT
fully plated; selective plating is available as an option
Lead-free and RoHS compliant
