Mouser Electronics, the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the AMPFOIL ULTRA connectors from TE Connectivity.
TE’s AMPFOIL ULTRA connectors are designed for Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) and Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) applications. These connectors feature a noteworthy plug design that allows the parallel installation of two foils, significantly increasing signal density. The AMPFOIL ULTRA connectors feature a 1mm pitch for the foils and a compact 0.5mm pitch on the PCB, conserving board space. These connectors offer a positive locking mechanism that helps to ensure the connection remains secure, preventing accidental unmating or loosening from unexpected pull forces in any direction. The AMPFOIL ULTRA connectors plug features a transitional sinking surface, making it easier to unlatch when needed. These connectors meet the rigorous vibration performance standards of LV 214, achieving Severity 2.
The AMPFOIL ULTRA connectors comply with the USCAR-2 standard, which confirms the connector’s ability to maintain its electrical and mechanical performance even under prolonged, demanding conditions. Typical applications include Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), battery cell-to-system, Battery Management Systems (BMS), and automotive electric powertrains and lighting systems.
