The **FCR-C0-R/Q** series refers to specific types of **Flat Cable Connectors** (often associated with manufacturers like Fujitsu or specialized electronic component vendors). These parts are primarily used for making high-density connections between printed circuit boards (PCBs) and flat ribbon cables. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Overview These components are designed for industrial and telecommunications applications where space-saving and reliability are critical. | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) / Flat Cable Connector | | **Pitch Distance** | Typically 1.27mm (0.050") or 2.54mm (0.100") depending on specific sub-variant | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole or Right-angle PCB mounting | | **Contact Material** | Copper Alloy with Gold or Tin plating | | **Current Rating** | Usually 1.0A to 3.0A per contact | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | --- ### 2. Key Components & Variations The suffix **"R/Q"** usually denotes the orientation and the mating style of the connector: * **FCR (Flat Cable Connector):** The base series designation. * **C0:** Often represents the design generation or a specific pin-count configuration series. * **R (Right Angle):** Indicates that the pins are bent at a 90-degree angle, allowing the cable to sit parallel to the PCB. * **Q (Quick/Vertical):** Often refers to straight (vertical) mounting or a specific locking mechanism style for quick disconnection. --- ### 3. Structural Features 1. **Insulator Body:** Made of glass-filled PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate), which is heat-resistant and provides high dielectric strength. 2. **Ejector Latches:** Many models in this series include "ears" or levers that lock the mating cable in place and assist in ejection to prevent pin damage. 3. **Polarization Key:** A physical notch that ensures the cable cannot be plugged in backwards (reverse polarity protection). --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Internal Computer Wiring:** Connecting motherboards to peripheral headers. * **Industrial Control Panels:** Linking PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to I/O modules. * **Telecommunications:** High-density signal routing in rack-mounted equipment. * **Medical Devices:** Used in diagnostic equipment where multi-signal integrity is required. ---
