FCI has expanded its new ZipLine connector system with the addition of the ZipLine power module.
Designed for both backplane and orthogonal applications, the power IMLA (insert-moulded leadframe assembly) has a current-carrying capacity of 7 A per position, or 42 A per column, as tested for 30°C temperature rise in still air when a single 6-contact power IMLA is integrated within a signal module.
The ZipLine high-density, high-performance connector system is built upon FCI's proven AirMax VS technology and offers similar signal integrity performance. Like AirMax VS connectors, the ZipLine connector system uses edge-coupling technology to deliver high signal density with low insertion loss and low crosstalk, all without the use of costly and space-consuming metal shields. Data rates can scale from 2,5 Gbps to 12,5 Gbps without requiring redesign of a basic platform.
ZipLine connectors also provide high signal density in three dimensions to help address mechanical and thermal concerns of system designers. The system is compatible with hard metric design practice and can be placed next to AirMax VS signal modules and hard metric high-power connectors. With two adjacent power IMLAs, the ZipLine power IMLA's current-carrying capacity is 5 A per contact position, or 30 A per column. With 12 adjacent IMLAs, individual contacts are rated at 2,5 A, or 15 A per column.
The ZipLine connector system provides 33,3 differential signal pairs per centimetre linear density when configured with six differential pairs per column at 1,8 mm column pitch, and can attain 39,8 differential signal pairs per centimetre at 1,5 mm column pitch.
