FCI AirMax VS® Hard Metric Connectors
FCI has expanded its AirMax VS
®
product line to include Hard Metric Connectors designed to provide options for the protected receptacle to be
on the
backplane
/
midplane
or on the
daughter card. Options include a range of differential pairs/column,
column pitches, or column counts, optimized for either 100Ω or 85Ω
impedance to match channel impedance and reduce loss, halogen-free
signal modules, and the availability of power and guide modules to
complement the signal connector offering.
FCI AirMax VS® (Virtual Shield) Connectors are based on a unique design
that eliminates the need for
interleaving shields by using air as a highly efficient dielectric
between conductors. The elimination of these shields reduces the
connector weight, cost, and PCB routing complexity. AirMax VS
gives designers the flexibility to develop their present systems for
2.5 Gb/s to 6.25 Gb/s, and the scalability to grow their systems to over
12 Gb/s without having to perform a costly redesign to the basic
platform. AirMax VS connectors demonstrate exceptionally low
insertion loss and crosstalk characteristics, and are available in
available in both 2 and 3 mm centerlines to simplify signal routing with
3, 4, and 5 pair configurations. FCI Airmax VS Connectors are
well-suited for a wide range of applications for data, communications,
and industrial equipment.
