168-Position Mezzanine Header for Dense Board Stacks
The Hirose FX10A-168P-SV(71) is a 168-position header from the FunctionMax™ FX10 series, designed as a board-to-board interconnect for parallel PCB stacking. The header stands 0.138" (3.50mm) above the board surface before mating, which sets the clearance for surrounding components on the SMT assembly.
Packaging Variants for Volume Assembly
This (71) suffix ships in tray packaging, suited for low-to-medium volume hand-assembly or small-batch reflow. The FX10A-168P-SV(91) is the electrically identical variant supplied in Tape & Reel and Cut Tape, which feeds directly into automated pick-and-place lines for high-volume production. Both carry the same 168 positions, 0.50mm pitch, 3.50mm height, and gold flash plating — the only difference is the packaging format.
