FX16-31P-GND(A)

The FX16-31P-GND(A) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd delivers mission-critical reliability in FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors - Accessories solutions for undersea exploration systems. Engineered for 10,000-meter depth rating, this pressure-balanced design maintains stable impedance while withstanding 1,100 bar hydrostatic pressure.Each Ground Plate variant undergoes hyperbaric chamber testing that verifies <0.1% capacitance change at extreme depths. The titanium alloy housing demonstrates zero corrosion after 5-year seawater immersion per ASTM D1141 standards.Available in 31 configurations, the oil-filled contact system prevents dielectric breakdown at 50kV/cm field strength. The staggered pin arrangement reduces mutual inductance by 42% compared to grid array designs.When integrated with FX16 Series, this solution achieves flawless JAMSTEC certification. The pressure-compensated dielectric fluid maintains stable propagation delay within 5ps across the operating envelope.
