The Teradyne J973EP VLSI test system made its first appearance in Europe at Semicon Europa.
Applications for the right-angle male include cable I/O interfacing directly to the edge of the daughtercard, planar extender-card applications, and straight I/O into the right-angle female VHDM connector.
The VHDM product family is based on a modular "waferised" architecture, allowing the right-angle male wafers to be combined with power and guidance wafers to achieve an overall connector length of up to 304mm.
The VHDM eight-row RAM connector uses the same wafer concept as the standard VHDM connector and is designed to mate with standard VHDM eight-row right-angle female connector assemblies.
The product family also includes VHDM-HSD, VHDM L-series, coplanar and parallel stacking derivatives, and a wide variety of components including power and guidance.
Teradyne and Molex began their business relationship in 1996 when Teradyne licensed Molex to manufacture its HDM backplane connectors.
Since then, Molex has been licensed to manufacture other Teradyne backplane connector lines, including VHDM, VHDM-HSD and VHDM L-Series.
The addition of VHDM eight-row RAM to both companies' product portfolios represents their mutual commitment to continuously expand the VHDM product family in order to best support their customers.
The VHDM eight-row right-angle male connector is priced at approximately US $0.20-0.25 per line in full production volumes and is available now from both Teradyne and Molex.
