Fujitsu Expands Copper Connector Offering for High-Speed Switching Applications

FCN-260(D)microGiGaCN vertical mount_large.jpg (30k) SUNNYVALE, Calif. - April 5, 2004 - - Fujitsu Components America, Inc. today announced it has expanded its high-speed copper microGiGaCNTM connector series by adding a vertical board-mount I/O socket. The new socket expands Fujitsu’s offering of standard, copper I/O and mid-plane interconnects that comply with InfiniBand®, 10G CX4 Ethernet, and 10G Fiber Channel requirements while meeting the needs of other high-speed applications. For distances less than 20m, the microGiGaCN series provides a low-cost alternative to optical fiber.

Optimized for differential signal transmission of 3.125 Gbps and above over standard, FR-4 material, the new microGiGaCN FCN-260(D) vertical socket is available in 4x and 12x versions with latches for InfiniBand applications. It is intermatable with the series’ existing cable-mount plug connectors, and is available to support various pcb thicknesses from 0.062” to >0.110”.

The vertical socket has a 0.75mm signal-to-ground contact pitch, a 1.5mm signal-to-signal contact pitch, and a 0.5mm SMT lead pitch. The SMT leads use a lead-free process with gold coating in place of solder.

The RoHS-compliant connector is rated at DC 30V, 0.5A (signal) and 1.0A (ground). Impedance matching is +/- 10 percent with a near end crosstalk of 4% or less at 50ps rise time.

The microGiGaCN series is suited for high-speed data-link/LVDS applications in datacom/telecom equipment, mid-plane high speed cabling applications, high-speed video equipment, high-speed test equipment, logic analyzers, medical instrumentation, optical modules interface applications, and other emerging high-speed applications.

Other products in the microGiGaCN series include a right-angle board-mount socket, I/O plugs in 4x and 12x versions with latches or thumbscrews, a backshell, and high-speed cable assemblies. This connector series has been adopted by InfiniBand (4x and 12x), Serial Attached SCSI (4 lane), Serial ATA-2 (4 lane), 10G Ethernet CX-4 (4 lane), and 10G Fiber Channel (4 lane and 12 lane).

The new FCN-260D vertical socket is available immediately from stock. Pricing for a 4X vertical-mount socket is $7.41 in 10K-piece quantities.
