Overview:
FCI's AirMax VS® high-performance connector system provides support for high-speed connections between coplanar boards. Right-angle receptacle and header connectors enable coplanar card extender applications or Zone 3 connections between a front board and rear transition module in ATCA® systems.

The offering provides flexibility in the number of differential pairs per column to address signal density, connector profile or airflow requirements. AirMax VS connectors configured with 15 contacts (5 differential pairs) per column and 2mm column spacing provide 63.5 differential pairs per inch within 25mm card slot pitch. Lower-profile options provide 12 contacts (4 pairs) or 9 contacts (3 pairs) per column and allow the designer to achieve card slot pitch of 20mm, or less.

Features:

Compatible with Hard Metric design practice

Opposed dual-beam receptacle contact structure provides high reliability

Support differential signaling at up to 12.5 Gb/s

Qualification to Telcordia® GR-1217-CORE Central Office requirements

“Eye of the Needle” (EON)-compliant tail for press-fit PCB termination

Halogen-free signal modules aid efforts to minimize the use of environmentally sensitive materials

Capability to allocate contacts to differential or single-ended signals or low-level power within the same signal connector provides flexibility

Available power and guide modules complement signal connector offering
