HD Mezz and Searay connectors simplify PCB routing without sacrificing performance, as well as provide advanced electrical and mechanical features at cost-competitive pricing.
By employing Molex-patented solder-charge technology for standard SMT attach, both connectors provide better process yields and a lower-applied cost versus equivalent ball grid array (BGA) connector products.
Additionally, customers will no longer need to incorporate large, complex, multilayer boards into their systems, saving card-slot space and reducing costs.
"HD Mezz and Searay board-to-board connectors are high-speed solutions that offer excellent signal clarity with ample bandwidth for customer requirements in high-speed designs", says Molex Product Manager Adam Stanczak.
"These robust high-speed solutions allow Molex customers to pack a powerful performance punch in a tight area, preserving precious PCB real estate".
HD Mezz connectors provide a flexible tooling approach that allows for multiple stack heights, ranging from 16.00 to 38.00mm, and circuit sizes of 91 to 403 circuits.
Searay accommodates low-profile applications with stack heights of 7.00 to 15.00mm, covering the range just below HD Mezz products.
It also offers solutions using high-speed copper flex assemblies.
Option cards may be added or upgraded to increase flexibility in system performance.
