High-speed connectors

8 June 2011 Interconnection

ERNI Electronics has expanded its 1,0 mm MicroSpeed connector family to include a two-row 90° version in addition to the standard vertical male and female connectors designed for typical mezzanine applications.

The new right-angled connectors support data rates of up to 10 Gbps and are the result of intensive development work utilising new connecting and material technologies, combined with ERNI’s proven double-sided spring contacts and complete shielding of the top and bottom sides. The 90° MicroSpeed enables compact connections from either backplane to daughter cards or coplanar connections from one daughter card to another.

The modular and shielded signal connectors are available in two rows with 50 pins and operate across a wide temperature range (-55°C to +125°C). The signal contacts are built with SMT termination and are also equipped with two termination options for shielding depending on the application – SMT or through-hole reflow (THR) for extra heavy cards or extra mechanical strain relief. SMT signal coplanarity is 100% guaranteed at less than 0,10 mm on all contacts.

The signal connector‘s longitudinal pitch of 1,0 mm and transverse pitch of 1,5 mm allows the differential or single-ended signals to be arranged horizontally or vertically to meet specific impedance requirements. Optimised crosstalk behaviour is achieved through a variety of layout configurations and is supported by test data, available upon request.

MicroSpeed connectors are supplied in tape and reel packaging. They are equipped with black insulator housings to ensure fast and reliable visual recognition, and a pre-mounted pick-and-place cover for easy assembly onto the PCB.
