FCI (Etters, PA) has developed the advanced ExaMAX high-speed backplane connector technology to provide a path for future designs up to 40 Gb/s. The revolutionary ExaMAX connector design combines a new connector terminal design technology that significantly decreases terminal stub and ground-mode resonances with a compact form-factor. Features include:

• A new beam-on-beam contact structure.
• An overmolded leadframe assembly that precisely locates balanced differential pairs within formed channels.
• A compact design similar to the AirMax connector external envelope for low-cost, flat rock press-block.
• Adaptability for a wide range of system interconnect applications.
