Interconnects meet high-speed, board stacking requirements.

Press Release Summary:




RISE-UP(TM) Series HSC8 uses controlled impedance PCB with embedded ground plane. Units are capable of transmitting data in excess of 6.25 Gb/sec and operate at up to 3.5 GHz/differential pair in 25 mm board stacking applications. Series HSEC8/MEC8 interfaces allow parallel board stacking, as well as perpendicular daughtercard type applications, and horizontal or coplanar applications. Single-ended systems offer 50 or 70 I/Os, while differential pair systems have 33 or 46 I/O pairs.

Samtec RISE-UP(TM) System Addresses Elevated High Speed Board Stacking Requirements



Samtec's new RISE-UP(TM) high speed interconnect system (HSC8 Series) uses controlled impedance PCB with embedded ground plane for greatly improved performance over traditional connector sets. They are capable of transmitting data in excess of 6.25 Gb/sec and operate at up to 3.5 GHz/differential pair in 25mm board stacking applications.

Connector interfaces (HSEC8/MEC8 Series) allow traditional parallel board stacking as well as perpendicular daughtercard type applications and horizontal or coplanar "pizza box" applications. Depending on signal integrity requirements various contact systems can be chosen for the best balance of performance and coast.

Off-the shelf systems are available with single-ended (50 or 70 I/Os) differential pair (33 or 46 I/O pairs) routing and provide a 25mm (.984) stack height. Application specific boards for other stack heights as well as custom signal and power requirements are cost-effective and available with quick turnaround.

Samtec's Signal Integrity division is also available to help customers work through the complex design issues that are faced in elevated board stacking applications. Pricing begins @ .15¢ per mated line for the onnector/PC board system.
