2.50mm (.098”) Pitch SPOX™ BMI Connector System FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS SPOX BMI connectors offer self-aligning features in one of the smallest blind-mate packages available The unique low-profile design of the SPOX Blind-mate Interface (BMI) allows for a mated stack distance of only 11.00mm (.430”). Utilizing proven SPOX-style contacts for high reliability, the products are suitable for situations requiring highly reliable Tin interfaces. The unique dual-row panel-mounting design provides rugged support for blind-mating applications and permits up to 3.00mm (.120”) of misalignment between connectors prior to engagement. Multiple pin counts permit design flexibility and provide for both power and signal circuitry. 45578, 45579, 45608, 45609, 45626, 45627 Wire-to-Wire, Wire-to-Board These dual-row 2.50mm (.098”) products are not intermateable with the conventional single-row 2.50mm (.098”) products. Features and Benefits ■ Headers are molded in LCP high-temperature plastic meeting Lead-free processing requirements ■ Panel mounting feature permits up to 3.00mm (.120”) misalignment in horizontal and vertical directions and blind-mating of products as connectors can self-align ■ First-mate/last-break circuits provide sequential engagement of contacts for design flexibility ■ Robust alignment features virtually eliminate contact damage SPECIFICATIONS Reference Information Packaging: Bulk — 45578, 45579, 45626, 45609 Tray — 45608 Reel — 45627 UL File No.: Pending CSA File No.: Pending Mates With: 45578 mates to 45579 45627 mates to 45579 45626 uses 45627 45608 mates to 45609 Designed In: millimeters Electrical Voltage: 250V AC (RMS) Current: 22 AWG – 3.0A 24 AWG – 2.5A 26 AWG – 2.0A 28 AWG – 1.5A Contact Resistance: 20 milliohms max.
