FSM104 datasheet by TE Connectivity

FSM104 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the FSM104?
  TE Connectivity recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane for the FSM104. The signal traces should be routed away from the power planes to minimize noise and EMI.
• How do I ensure reliable connections with the FSM104's spring fingers?
  To ensure reliable connections, make sure to clean the spring fingers before mating, apply a gentle and even pressure during mating, and avoid over-tightening or over-mating the connectors.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the FSM104?
  The FSM104 is rated for operation from -40°C to 125°C, but the maximum operating temperature range may vary depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.
• Can I use the FSM104 in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the FSM104 is designed to withstand high-vibration environments, but it's essential to follow proper mounting and securing procedures to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage.
• How do I handle ESD protection when working with the FSM104?
  To prevent ESD damage, use ESD-protective equipment, such as wrist straps and mats, when handling the FSM104. Also, ensure that the PCB and components are properly grounded during assembly and testing.
