Save space with shrinking USB connectors
The new series of mini-BTM USB connectors from Molex take up only about 1/8th of the space of standard USB-B connectors.
Also offered is a module compliant with the Gigabit Ethernet standard at 1.25Gbit/s.
A third version operates at the Infiniband speed of 2.5Gbit/s and can be used for other proprietary applications as well.
These SFF transceivers use the LC optical connector interface, and occupy half the board space of a standard 1 by 9 (SC) transceiver.
They operate on a low 3.3V power supply voltage.
Incorporating highly reliable native oxide 850nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) technology, the transceivers offer serial gigabit transmission over multimode fibre for distances up to 550m.
All the transceivers are AC coupled and compatible with TTL signal detect.
Molex's SFF transceivers feature an industry standard 2 by 5 pin configuration and conform to the SFF industry multisource agreement (MSA).
To optimise EMI performance and ensure good contact with the end user's faceplate, Molex's design incorporates EMI fingers on all four sides of the housing.
The modules operate over a temperature range of 0 to 70C and can be stored from -40 to 85C.
