Molex SpeedStack Connector System Delivers High-Speed Data Rates In A High-Density Connector

The mated stack heights of 4.00 to 10.00mm along with a 0.80mm pitch provide design engineers with the ultimate in flexibly to address space constraints without sacrificing performance.

“The marketplace has a great need for a versatile, high density, board-to-board mezzanine solution that provides space savings and high data rates, as well as optimal airflow despite a low stack height,” said Adam Stanczak, new product development manager, Molex. “The Molex SpeedStack connector system not only delivers a low-profile, high-speed solution, it is specifically developed with a narrow housing design to allow better airflow and promote system cooling.”

The SpeedStack Connector System comes in multiple circuit sizes of 22, 44, 60, 82, 104 and 120 with a range of 6 – 32 differential pairs for even greater flexibility. The 100 Ohm design provides superior impedance control with an 85 Ohm version to be released in June 2013 that will support PCIe Generation 3.0 and Intel QuickPath Interconnect requirements for next-generation I/O and memory signalling. The insert-moulded wafer design includes a protective shrouded housing, providing support to the terminal location and improved electrical balance. A common ground pin helps improve electrical performance and minimise crosstalk.
