FCI: GIG-ARRAY® MEZZANINE CONNECTOR NOW OFFERS 7
STACK HEIGHTS
FCI expands its family of high-speed GIG-Array® mezzanine connectors to now offer more stack-height options.
FCI, a leading manufacturer of connectors and interconnect systems, has expanded its high-speed GIG-Array® Mezzanine product line with the addition of new connector configurations that provide 200 signal contacts at a board spacing of 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm or 35mm.
The new GIG-Array connector options offer system designers more flexibility. Both the 200-position and 296-position connector sizes are now available in seven different stack heights: 15mm, 18mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm, 30mm and 35mm.
The GIG-Array product line is designed for 100-Ohm matched impedance to support differential signaling at data rates of 10Gbps, with very low crosstalk to preserve signal integrity. The entire connector family is extremely efficient for high-speed board stacking applications in server, storage, transmission, switching and networking equipment.

The 200-position connector contains 25 columns with eight individual signal contacts and 10 ground contacts in each column, for a total of 200 signal and 250 ground contacts. The use of individual contacts for both signal and ground connections provides more flexibility in handling power or low-speed, single-ended coupled signals than systems that utilize interleaving ground shields.
All GIG-Array connectors feature FCI's innovative Ball Grid Array (BGA) connector termination for easy attachment to PCBs using conventional reflow soldering processes. The 1mm x 0.65mm ball grid optimizes routing and electrical performance.
I would be pleased to provide you with more information!
