FCI’s ExaMAX High-Connector Technology

FCI [1] (Etters, PA) interconnect systems, has developed the advanced ExaMAX high- connector technology to provide a path for future designs up to 40 Gb/s. The revolutionary ExaMAX connector design combines a new connector terminal design technology that significantly decreases terminal stub and ground factor, and an optimized PCB footprint for easier and more flexible user system design. Features include:

• New beam-on-beam contact that structures points of contact and minimizes the unwanted insertion loss resonances.
• An over-molded, lead-frame assembly.
• A compact envelope.
• A connector board footprint engineered for maximum density and signal integrity performance. 
• User design flexibility.
