BOARD TO BOARD CONNECTORS MEG-Array® MEZZANINE Connector system HIGH DENSITY, BGA DESIGN EXCELS AT HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY DESCRIPTION The MEG-Array® Mezzanine Connector system provides the high density and high speed benefits of a large array supported by the reliability and low costs of standard surface mount PCB assembly. 1.27mm x 1.27mm array of discrete circuit contacts allows flexible ground distribution to optimize high speed signal integrity at speeds exceeding 10 Gb/s. MEG-Array is offered in a variety of PCB mezzanine stack heights. FCI’s advanced manufacturing supports a patented BGA interconnect design. Multiple in-process vision systems monitor BGA contact integrity including solder sphere size, location and co-planarity plus other critical-to-function attributes. FEATURES & BENEFITS TARGET MARKETS / APPLICATIONS High density, high speed, discrete contact, array connector Flexible ground distribution optimizes high speed signal integrity 10 Gb/s differential pair performance with under 1% cross-talk 28 Gb/s high speed performance documented for 4mm and 6mm stack height Online s-parameter files and signal integrity performance reports improve design accuracy and time-to-market 1.27mm x 1.27mm grid provides 71 contacts per cm2 density to save space COMMUNICATIONS Transmission Access Switching Optics Networking Wide range of sizes and PCB stack heights increase mechanical design flexibility 6 PCB Stack heights: 4mm to 14mm 8 sizes: 81 to 528 positions Revolutionary, trusted BGA interconnect platform High density standard BGA attachment lowers assembly costs by using standard SMT processes BGA natural surface tension provides self-alignment and self-leveling for multiple connector usage Patented BGA contact attachment preserves solder ball positioning Optimized PCB routing enhances electrical performance Quality and Reliability Time-tested reliability record includes Telcordia GR-1217-CORE and NPS-25298-2 options 22+ year solder joint reliability per IPC-SM-785 17 Billion + lines shipped to customer satisfaction Precious metal plating options satisfy varying customer needs for environmental resistance DATA Servers Storage I&I Industrial controls & equipment Analytical & diagnostic Medical
