Product details

Board-to-Board Mezzanine Plug for 0.80 mm Pitch Stacking

It uses a 0.80 mm pitch and dual-row center strip contacts, with gold plating (8.00 µinch) on the mating interface. The SMT termination and integrated board guide simplify pick-and-place alignment during reflow assembly. This plug supports multiple mated stacking heights — 5 mm, 9 mm, 13 mm, and 17 mm — letting a single PCB footprint accommodate different board gaps by swapping the receptacle height.

Stacking Height Flexibility and Board Layout

What makes this plug stand out in the FH family is the range of mated stacking heights: 5 mm, 9 mm, 13 mm, and 17 mm. You pick the receptacle height to match the z-axis clearance in the enclosure, while the plug side stays constant.

Gold Plating and Contact Reliability

The 8.00 µinch gold finish on the mating contacts is a standard signal-grade plating. For high-cycle or harsh-environment duty, the thicker 50 µinch gold on the sibling 1-120532-2 (84-position, 1.00 mm pitch) would be the better call, but that part also steps up to a larger pitch and different footprint.
