Handling data transmission rates up to and beyond 12,5 Gbps, the AirMax VS backplane connector system from FCI offers high speed computing and network system designers a pin density providing up to 50 differential pair or 150 single ended connections per 25 mm daughtercard slot spacing.
AirMax VS is built around a common insert moulded leadframe assembly (IMLA) that supports both differential pair and single ended signal lines. Its 'virtual shield' (VS) construction eliminates the need for interleaving shields, which minimises impedance mismatch and provides added flexibility in board layout design.
An inverse connector system conforming to the hard metric standard, AirMax VS provides a vertical receptacle for the backplane and a right angle header for the daughter card. Comprising 10 independent IMLA columns spaced at 2 mm, each with 15 signal contacts, the first AirMax VS connector provides a 150-pin configuration. A 120-pin configuration for a daughtercard slot spacing of just 20 mm will follow.
The column differential pairs of AirMax VS demonstrate exceptionally low insertion loss and crosstalk characteristics. The scalability of the connector solution means that systems currently designed for 2,5 to 6,5 Gbps operation can be upgraded to 12,5 Gbps operation without redesigning the basic platform.
Complementing the high-speed data connectors are the AirMax VS power connector modules. In 1 x 2 and 2 x 2 pin configurations they offer a current handling capacity of 80 A. A further module ensures correct alignment and keying of the complete connector assembly and provides protection against ESD.
