88017-2

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 88017-2 represents the gold standard in FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors - Contacts technology, optimized for next-generation electronic packaging. Its advanced design addresses critical challenges in high-speed digital systems and RF applications.The Socket interface architecture incorporates patented anti-wicking features that prevent flux migration. This proves essential in reflow processes where cleanliness impacts high-frequency performance.Engineered for Crimp applications, the contact achieves UL 1977 certification. Precision crimping dies create gas-tight connections that outperform soldered joints in thermal cycling tests.Designed for 26-32 AWG wiring, the contact's dual-beam design provides 360 conductor engagement. Medical device manufacturers particularly value its consistent performance across wire diameter tolerances.Gold surface treatment enables low-insertion-force mating while maintaining EMI shielding effectiveness. Tin-lead finishes demonstrate superior performance in aerospace applications with extreme temperature fluctuations.The 15.0µin (0.38µm) coating thickness is laser-verified at multiple process points. Thinner finishes are preferred for high-cycle applications where friction reduction is critical.
