ZN Stack High-Speed Floating Board-to-Board Connectors

Vehicles require increasing levels of real-time processing for extremely high amounts of data. Designers and integrators of ultra-high-speed and reliable automotive modules need connectors that operate at high speeds while maintaining excellent signal integrity.  ZN Stack connectors provide ultra-fast data connections for vehicle functionality. These connections are controlled by centralized high-speed compute master controllers capable of multi-threaded processing to execute core and high-logic functions as the “brain” of the vehicle. 

To drive down cost, improve reliability and address needs for ever-increasing power requirements, system designers need high-power internal connectors created to meet design, thermal and reliability requirements for high-performance, multi-PCB modules. ZN Stack connectors have high-current power terminal options for each form factor with up to 40.0A of two-way power-current transfer. These connectors transfer power between PCBs with highly optimized, automotive-grade connectors, reducing the need for external power inputs to each PCB. 

Designers and integrators of ultra-high-speed and reliable automotive modules seek confidence in how to easily select and design in connectors for real-time processing in safety and communications systems. Manufacturers also require ease of design for infotainment systems in compact, space-saving modules.  ZN Stack connectors are automotive-validated, high-speed connectors supporting up to 32 Gbps data rate in a compact footprint. Molex provides up-front support, engineering assistance, systems-level simulation and testing to ensure best-in-class design quality.
