Description
The Z-PACK HM-Zd Connector System is a high speed, differential connector system, which is compatible with the Z-PACK 2mm HM Connector Line. Z-PACK HM-Zd Connector provides Z-PACK 2mm HM Connector users with a migration path for serial switching applications from 3.125 Gb/s to 10+ Gb/s. The Z-PACK HM-Zd Connector System features a highly reliable dual beam contact system with fully encompassing grounds dedicated to each differential pair. In addition, the Z-PACK HM-Zd Connector footprint is optimized for both routability and system performance with the use of a 1.50 x 2.50 [.059 x .098] row to column grid. The connector design features a robust mating interface with integral prealignment and polarization built into the mating interface.
- Z-PACK HM-Zd Connector is an extension of the Z-PACK 2mm HM product line
- Designed specifically for high speed differential applications
- A modular connector system with a standard module size of 25.00 0.984
- Contact pitch is 1.50 0.059 within a pair and 3.00 0.118 pair to pair within a column; column to column pitch is 2.50 0.098
- Card Pitch is less than 20.32 0.8 for 2 pair and 3 pair headers and 25.40 1 for 4 pair headers
- Available in three versions:
- 2 signal contact pairs per column (20 pairs per 25.00 0.984) compatible with 5 row Z-PACK 2mm HM Connector
- 3 signal contact pairs per column (30 pairs per 25.00 0.984)
- 4 signal contact pairs per column (40 pairs per 25.00 0.984) compatible with 8 row Z-PACK 2mm HM Connector
- Available in vertical and right angle press fit pin headers and right angle and vertical press fit receptacles
- Optimized footprint for improved electrical performance and ease of trace routing (unobstructed routing channels on both daughtercard and backplane)
- Pin header and receptacle have the exact same footprint to simplify PC board layout
- Designed to meet Telcordia requirements
