FCI DEVELOPS QUICKIE™
Pin Header Connectors for SMT Soldering
FCI, a leading developer of connectors and connector systems, has expanded its successful BASICS+ range of commodity connectors with two new versions of QuickieTM Shrouded Pin Headers for cable-to-board applications. Both are designed for Pin-in-Paste (PiP) soldering, allowing for through-mount (TMT) products to be attached using SMT processes while still providing the mechanical strength of TMT soldering. The new versions thus permit customers to use the more advanced assembly technology without having to forego commodity connectors in their systems.
The Quickie PiP header body consists of high-temperature thermoplastic, while the special housing design optimizes the flow of solder paste during soldering. In addition, solder tail lengths have been reduced to avoid the risk of pushing solder paste out of the PCB through-holes. All products can be supplied either in tubes or tape-on-reel packaging to support automated pick-and-place assembly. The headers feature a 4-wall shroud and mate with Quickie IDC (insulation displacement connection) or DuboxTM CTW (crimp-to-wire) connector receptacles.

FCI has extensively tested its Quickie PiP connectors and offers full application support, to include stencil design, paste application, and board layout recommendations.
Quickie headers and cable connectors are products in the FCI BASICS+ program. The Basics+ service program encompasses industry-standard 2.54mm and 2mm pitch connectors for board-to-board, wire-to-board and cable-to-board applications.
