With this portfolio, designers are able to optimize the cost and performance of the connectors that they choose for their designs and aximize the space on printed circuit boards.

The portfolio includes many of FCI's connectors brands including MEGArray�, GIGArray�, Bergstak�, Conan�, Ribcage(TM), Minitek(TM), Bergstik� and Dubox(TM).
