• Provides design flexibility
• Supports applications with space constraints

Reliable mating interface with 2.00mm wipe and 2 points of contact:
• Enables sufficient conductive wipe for clean signal transmission and enhanced durability

Guide pins:
• Supports robust mating alignment
• Aids blind mating

Data rates of up to 12.5 Gbps:
• Delivers excellent signal clarity with ample bandwidth for high-speed designs

High contact density with 14 differential pairs per square centimeter:
• Eases space constraints on PCBs

High durability:
• Endures 100 mating cycles

Overview


Computer, networking and telecommunications OEMs often have designs requiring complicated PCB routing and expensive multilayered boards that can drive up costs. The HD Mezz Mezzanine Connector System allows customers to simplify PCB routing without sacrificing performance. It also enables them to avoid the expense of large, complex multilayer boards.

As designers work to keep up with the growing demands placed on networking and telecommunications infrastructure, space constraints have become an issue. The HD Mezz Mezzanine Connector System provides high contact density with 14 differential pairs per square centimeter, alleviating issues for designs constrained by limited PCB real estate.
