Mezzanine Connector Family Extends Stack Height Options

Extending the GIG-ARRAY high-speed, high-density mezzanine product line are 11-mm receptacle connectors providing either 200 or 296 signal contacts and they add the capability for 21 mm, 23 mm, 24 mm, 26 mm, 31 mm, or 36 mm board-to-board spacing. The connectors' differential pairs nominally provide 100 Ohms matched impedance to deliver higher speed performance with less reflected power. They support transmission rates up to 10 Gb/s with optimized wiring patterns. 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.
