With our industry-leading high-speed, power and fiber optic technologies, together with superior simulation and testing capability and cost-effectiveness, Amphenol is a market leader in interconnect development for the information technology (IT) and datacom market. Whether industry standard or application-specific designs are required, we can provide customers with products that enable performance at the leading edge of next-generation, high-speed, power and fiber optic technologies. Our primary end applications include cloud computing and data centers, gaming systems, internet appliances, networking equipment, servers, storage systems, transmission and web service providers.
Hard Metric High Power connectors are a perfect complement to Amphenol's ExaMAX®, AirMax®, ZipLine®, and Millipacs® signal connectors. These power connectors mount alongside their signal counterparts and are used in applications where bulk current is delivered by backplane or midplane to power-consuming components on a mating daughter card.
AirMax VS2® connectors provide a migration path from AirMax VS® for speeds up to 20Gb/s, providing a margin of safety for typical 802.3ap system performance with the flexibility of an open pin field design. The connectors leverage AirMax VS® and VSe® design features and technology to achieve improved signal integrity and mechanical attributes compared to AirMax VS® connectors.
Next-generation AirMax VSe® connectors provide a migration path for up to 25Gb/s per differential pair with the flexibility of an open pin field design. The connectors also feature backward mating-compatible interfaces to existing AirMax VS® connectors with minimal changes to connector footprints.
AirMax VS® Connectors for CompactPCI® Serial System
AirMax VS® high-speed signal connectors from Amphenol ICC meet the dimensional and electrical requirements described in the Compact PCI® Serial (PICMG CPCI-s.0) Specification developed by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG). Connections between a front system or peripheral board and backplane are accomplished using right-angle headers and vertical receptacles.
AirMax VS® coplanar connectors permit mating two boards in the same plane. The AirMax family includes many coplanar configurations including 3-, 4- and 5-Pair per column connectors with column pitch of 2mm and 3mm. This family also includes 100 Ohms versions for the broad market as well as 85Ohms versions for other computer architectures. These connectors can accommodate 12.5Gb/s applications.
AirMax VS® connectors use innovative edge-coupling and air dielectric between adjacent conductors to deliver insertion loss and crosstalk. The AirMax VS® connectors address a broad range of system architectures, including backplane, mid-plane, coplanar, mid-plane orthogonal, cabled backplane, and mezzanine applications.
AirMax VS® Orthogonal mid-plane interface features two back-to-back AirMax VS® headers oriented at 90 degrees to each other. The headers connect 16 differential signal pairs through shared vias in the mid-plane, providing a direct, high-speed connection while eliminating traces on the mid-plane. The AirMax VS® Orthogonal mid-plane interconnects can support differential signaling at up to 20Gb/s.
AirMax VS® high-speed signal connectors, guide modules, and power connectors meet the dimensional and electrical requirements for the Storage Bridge Bay Mid-plane Interface (SBBMI) to connect bridge/controller cards to the mid-plane in a drive enclosure. It comes with high-speed serial data rates that can scale from 2.5Gb/s to 12.5Gb/s without requiring the redesign of a basic platform.
