Connector System Thwarts EMI

The QMSS and QFSS series connector systems provide reliable EMI suppression by integrating shield plates along the sides of the connector and terminating them to the PCB via selected signal pins. Both single-ended and differential-pair versions are available, as well as application specific options with other signal and ground configurations. Signal pins are on a 0.635-mm pitch with a choice of 52, 104, 156, and 208 pins. Connectors are polarized to ensure proper mating and, in addition to vertical mating with an 11-mm spacing between boards, edge-mount, power combo, and non-shielded versions are also available.
