ExaMAX™ HIGH SPEED BACKPLANE

nnnn

CONNECTOR SYSTEM

nnnn

The Path to 40 Gb/s

nnnn

DESCRIPTION

nnnn

The ExaMAX™ connector system is designed

nnnn

to enable superior 25 Gb/s electrical

nnnn

performance and provide a path to 40 Gb/s in

nnnn

anticipation of further increases in bandwidth

nnnn

requirements and the data rates used for high

nnnn

speed signaling.

nnnn

ExaMAX™ connectors feature a revolutionary

nnnn

beam-on-beam contact interface that

nnnn

minimizes the residual stub for improved

nnnn

signal integrity performance compared to

nnnn

typical blade-on-beam contact structures and

nnnn

provides exceptionally low mating force while

nnnn

maintaining excellent contact normal force.

nnnn

Protected mating interfaces for both backplane

nnnn

and daughter card connectors also eliminates

nnnn

the exposed header pin field on the backplane,

nnnn

which can be susceptible to damage.

nnnn

Each signal wafer incorporates an innovative

nnnn

one-piece, embossed ground structure to

nnnn

improve crosstalk performance through 40

nnnn

Gb/s. The simple, functional design contributes

nnnn

to a very cost-effective solution.

nnnn

The ExaMAX™ product family will address a

nnnn

broad range of system architectures, including

nnnn

backplane, midplane, midplane orthogonal,

nnnn

direct orthogonal, cabled backplane, coplanar

nnnn

and mezzanine applications.
