More stack height options for high-speed connector line

23 March 2005 Interconnection

FCI has extended its GIG-Array high-speed, high-density product line with the introduction of a new 13 mm plug connector.

The new GIG-Array mezzanine connectors provide either 200 or 296 signal contacts and add the capability for 18 mm or 28 mm board-to-board spacing when used in combination with the company's existing 5 mm or 15 mm receptacles. These stack heights expand upon the options for 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm and 35 mm spacing already available as part of the initial GIG-Array product range.

"We are offering equipment designers more stack-height options to enable them to address component clearance, airflow, or slot spacing requirements that are unique to their chassis designs. Blade server, communications, and networking equipment are among the applications that can benefit from the excellent high-speed electrical performance provided by GIG-Array connectors," said Grace Showers, FCI global product manager.

GIG-Array differential pairs nominally provide 100 Ω matched impedance to deliver higher speed performance with less reflected power. They can support transmission rates in the range of 10 Gbps.

The 296-position connector contains 37 columns with eight individual signal contacts and nine ground contacts in each column, while the 200-position connector contains 25 columns. The use of individual contacts for both signal and ground connections provides more flexibility in handling power or low-speed signals than systems that use interleaving ground shields.

All GIG-Array connectors feature FCI's innovative BGA connector termination for easy attachment to PCBs using conventional reflow soldering processes. The 1 x 0,65 mm BGA grid optimises routing and electrical performance.
