Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does the ST80X-18S(30) use and why does it matter for telecom applications?
The ST80X-18S(30) uses gold (Au) contact termination finish, which provides low contact resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, and reliable performance across thousands of mating cycles — critical for 18-position telecom and datacom connectors in high-uptime network infrastructure.
Is the Hirose ST80X-18S(30) RoHS compliant for use in eco-regulated markets?
Yes, the ST80X-18S(30) carries a Pb-free code of Yes and a JESD-609 code of e4, confirming full RoHS compliance. This makes it suitable for export to markets requiring lead-free construction across all 18 contact positions and termination finishes.
Which board-level applications benefit most from the ST80X-18S(30) telecom connector?
The ST80X-18S(30) is well suited for PCB-level interconnects in enterprise routers, telecom switching cards, and industrial datacom modules where the 18-position layout and gold-plated Au contacts ensure stable signal transmission and low insertion loss over a 16-week factory lead time procurement cycle.
How does the 16-week factory lead time for ST80X-18S(30) affect procurement planning?
With a 16-week factory lead time, procurement teams should place orders for ST80X-18S(30) at least 4 months before production deadlines. Pre-ordering in volumes that match 18-position connector demand per board assembly lot helps avoid supply gaps in high-reliability telecom production schedules.
