Amphenol FCI RotaConnect™ Rotatable Board-To-Board Connectors

Amphenol FCI RotaConnect™ Rotatable Board-To-Board (BTB) Connectors are designed to support perpendicular, coplanar, and angled connections in multiple mating/unmating directions. These hermaphroditic connectors accommodate any angle between +90° and -60°, enabling it to be placed anywhere on the PCB. The design allows a single part number to house both male and female contacts. Constructed using a high-temperature thermoplastic UL-94-V0 housing material, RotaConnect BTB Connectors are reflow soldering compatible and offer a current rating of up to 5A, operating voltage of 125V, and a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The series includes a version with locating pegs to aid simple placement and save space between the connectors on the PCB. Amphenol FCI RotaConnect BTB Connectors are well-suited for control boards, sensors, actuators, rigid LED strips, automotive lighting, channel lettering, and incandescent lighting strips.
