MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (May 10, 2005) - AVX Corporation, a technology leader in connectors and passive components, has developed a 2mm hard metric connector that has the capability to enable system speeds of 2.5Gbit/sec. The 7200 Series hard metric connector reduces cross-talk with modular shielding and is available in all connector styles. The connector is ideal for telecom mobile phone base stations, telecom line transmission systems, telecom switching stations, embedded systems and industrial control applications

"Optional modular shielding plates placed between all contact positions reduce cross talk by 30 percent and improve electrical performance," said Bob Bastian, AVX product manager. "This is important for applications with higher transmission rates."

The modular shielding plate is placed between each contact module and connected to row C, which is located at ground level. When used in a differential pair application, the cross talk and propagation delay will be reduced and impedance peaks are lowered to a minimum level. The metric connector also enables a 4:1 signal ground ratio when used in combination with top and bottom shielding.

Pricing typically starts at $2.50 for quantities of 1,000pcs with a lead-time of four to six weeks.
