Molex SpeedEdge edge-card and mezzanine connector system
The SpeedEdge edge-card connector system is rugged enough to mate safely with large PCBs in high cycle applications while providing a high-density, low-profile solutions with data rates to over 40 Gbps per differential pair
Features
- Mechanically robust with thicker walls and higher stack height when compared to SpeedStack™
- Connectors and other mezzanine systems
- Split-pad PCB design
- Design includes contacts with gradual lead-in
- Multiple circuit sizes (22, 60 and 82) with a range of 6 to 32 differential pairs
- Low profile (as low as 7.00mm)
- Shares the same footprint as SpeedStack™ receptacles
- Compatible with SpeedEdge™ Plug for a robust mezzanine solution
- 92-Ohm impedance
- 85-Ohm impedance versions in development
- Robust insert-molded wafer with protected shrouded housing
- Securely holds thick PCBs; delivers durability and high-mating cycles
- Allows for electrical tuning performance to reach data rates to over 40 Gbps per differential pair
- Lessens risk of contact stubbing and supports highmating cycles. Accommodates PCBs with blunt chamfers
- Offers high-density signal solution with flexible pin counts
- Delivers superior signal integrity performance via optimal airflow. Provides real estate savings in space-constrained applications
- Drop-in replacement for rugged edge-card applications
- Provides high speed and design flexibility to address PCB space constraints
- Provides superior impedance control
- Will support PCIe Generation (Gen) 3.0 and Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) requirements for next-generation I/O and memory signaling
- Provides support to the terminal location to improve electrical balance within the signals for low-profile, high-density systems
