Features and Benefits
The increasing need for high-speed data transfer in a wide variety of devices and applications means design engineers must fit more interconnect capability into less space. Real estate on PCBs must be optimized for high-density connections without sacrificing signal integrity, data transmission reliability or equipment performance.
By using modular, high-density mezzanine connectors, designers can deliver high-density signal and power routing in space-constrained architectures. Shielded differential-pair interconnects enable clean and reliable signal transmission at high data rates, while connectors designed with multiple configuration options help designers optimize board spacing and routing to meet specific design requirements.
NeoScale Connectors provide high-density board-to-board connections that conserve PCB space while supporting high-speed system requirements. The shielded triad wafer design supports reliable signal integrity at data rates up to 56Gbps, while the two-piece mezzanine design uses patented solder-charge technology to ensure robust, durable solder joints and error-resistant mating. Modular construction and a choice of stack-height options enable designers to optimize board space and PCB routing in compact architectures, streamlining design work and enabling use with a variety of telecommunications and networking applications.
