Plateau HS Mezz high-speed mezzanine connectors support datarates in excess of 10Gbit/s.

Molex has a new range of Plateau HS Mezz high-speed mezzanine connectors.

Employing Molex's advanced plastic plating technology, this new line of connectors is able to support datarates in excess of 10Gbit/s.

Designed to be price competitive, the innovative plated plastic housing provides full shielding of each pair of differential contacts.

The mezzanine connectors are ideal for use in servers, mainframe computers, workstations, test equipment and telecommunication equipment such as routers.

Designed for stack heights from 9 to 25mm, the Plateau HS Mezz connector system features SMT differential pairs of contacts at 1.20mm pitch with pairs at 3.50mm pitch.

There are two points of contact on each signal interface for high reliability.

Moulded plated pegs on housings facilitate attachment to the PCB ground plane.
