Features and Benefits


The marketplace is moving towards low-profile mezzanine solutions. SpeedStack offers mezzanine solutions with 4.00 to +10.00mm stack heights. SpeedEdge offers mezzanine solutions with stack heights as low as 7.00mm.

Customers need different levels of data rates in one solution. They need a connector to accommodate this. The SpeedMezz Connector Family offers differential plug options with SpeedStack and SpeedEdge plugs that deliver up to 56Gbps and share the same footprint, making upgrade from one to the other connector system easy and convenient. SpeedField Plugs are single ended can be used up to 20Gbps.

The marketplace is looking for a small form factor with robust mechanical features.

SpeedEdge Receptacles offer a gentler terminal lead-in to offer high reliability and a robust housing to handle relatively thick PCBs.

Markets are looking for flexible performance solutions to meet a variety of application needs. The SpeedMezz Connector Family offers mezzanine options with a 1.00mm wipe for optimal signal integrity. The SpeedMezz Family also offers mezzanine solutions with a 2.00mm wipe for optimal mechanical and reliability performance.

The marketplace is moving towards flexible design solutions. SpeedStack, SpeedEdge and SpeedField receptacles share the same footprint, enabling a simple change out, and can be used as a mezzanine or edge card solutions. SpeedEdge Connectors are available in vertical and right-angle configurations.

Customers require increasingly smaller module sizes. The SpeedMezz Connector Family offers 22 to 82 circuits in small form factors, and the design is scalable to accommodate even more circuits.


SMT solder tail with pin-in-paste solder nail
Superior signal integrity over press fit.

Multiple circuit sizes: 22, 60 and 82
Offers a high-density signal solutions with flexible pin counts.

Receptacle shares the same footprint
Delivers design flexibility by enabling simple change out from one connector product line to another without having to redesign the PCB.

SpeedEdge - Longer, steeper lead-in square shape
Improves mating to edge-cards.
Accommodates blunt PCBs.

Speed Cable - Cable Assemblies
Delivers a complete cabling solution for connections between distances.
More economical than copper flex.
Terminated to SpeedStack, SpeedEdge or SpeedField Connectors.

SpeedStack - Capable of holding an edge card
Securely holds an edge card, giving system designers another connection option.

SpeedField - Removal of common ground bar
Allows additional open pin field for low speed or power requirements

SpeedFlex Assemblies
Accommodate short stack height requirements
Flexible format fits complex design needs
Can be terminated to SpeedStack, SpeedEdge or SpeedField Connectors
