Packaging & Interconnects

Pluggable I/O interface technology gives designers flexibility and significant advantages for use in high-speed networking, storage and telecom applications. Standard I/O equipment supports fiber and copper links, and provides more data throughput in smaller packaging.

Tyco Electronics continues to be engaged in new pluggable interface standards to support the rapidly changing market needs for higher bandwidth, and remains and industry leader with the technical expertise required to deliver superior designs for signal integrity and EMI at higher data rates. Tyco Electronics offers a full line of pluggable I/O interfaces and continues to be a leader in new product development. The TE Product portfolio includes: SFP, SFP , XFP, X2 and QSFP connectors, cages, heatsinks, light pipes and cable products.

Please join Tyco Electronics’ global product manager, Mike Walmsley, for an eight minute on-demand eeTechbrief webinar covering the application of pluggable I/O products, the interfaces and their features, and the roadmap and challenges for next generation solutions.

3M™ Ultra Hard Metric (UHM) Fully Shielded 2 mm Hard Metric Socket Connectors are engineered to deliver more than 7 Gbps backplane performance for systems based on 2 mm hard-metric connectors. System design engineers working with 2 mm hard-metric-based designs, such as VME or CompactPCI®, can now dramatically increase overall system performance while preserving their existing investment.

3M and Avnet Electronics Marketing are hosting a brief Webcast that will explore the following topics:

• Backplane design challenges and solutions
• UHM features and benefits
• PICMG Standard 2.30 for the J2 connector
• New PICMG 2.30 system slot and peripheral cards
• Support for legacy 2 mm HM system designs

In less than 14 minutes, you’ll gain an understanding of how standard Compact PCI and VME 64x systems can now support multi-gigabit, high-speed serial IO protocols such as SAS, SATA, Rapid IO, PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet without costly backplane redesigns or forklift upgrades.

The 3M™ 2 mm Shielded Controlled Impedance (SCI) Cable Assembly Development Kit allows engineers to quickly and cost-effectively assess, test and design a high-performance 2 mm SCI cable-to-board solution for applications that require the proven reliability of latch/eject connectors.

Join 3M’s Lindsay Powell for a brief Webcast that will demonstrate how the kit components can be used to test and characterize the signal integrity of 3M 2 mm SCI latch/eject headers and 3M 2 mm SCI coaxial and/or twin-axial cable assemblies.

Other discussion topics include:
• System overview
• SCI and coaxial connector comparison
• Development kit configurations and contents
• Key performance features and target applications

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to verify signal integrity, impedance matching and crosstalk performance for high-speed applications and how to design a superior coaxial or twin-axial high speed cable assembly.

Phoenix Contact and Sager Electronics invites you to join us for an exciting Webcast to discuss the COMBICON Power PC 5 Product Family. COMBICON Power PCB terminal blocks are designed to carry current loads of 16A to 125A.

Join Lyndsey Walling from Phoenix Contact for a brief Webcast discussing: 

      • Market Trends 
      • High Current Printed Circuit Board Technology 
      • Terminal Block Options
      • Contact Design
      • PC 5 Family Capabilities
      • Applications

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how the flexibility of the COMBICON PC 5 Products meet the interconnect requirements of the power electronics industry.

As many design engineers know, there isn’t an easy way to upgrade an existing 2 mm hard metric backplane to multi-gigabit speeds without a costly redesign. So, what can equipment vendors do to help customers supercharge legacy backplane systems without undertaking disruptive forklift upgrades?

Join 3M’s Lindsay Powell for a brief Webcast discussing how 3M™ MetPak™ HSHM connectors can support speeds up to 5 Gbps while leveraging and extending the life of design investments. Discussion topics include:

• Product features
    — True signal density: 5-row to 63 signals per linear inch (25 lines per centimeter) 

    — Ultra-high performance
    — Industry standard for hard metric (IEC 61076-4-101)
• Key applications
   — Multi-gigabit VME and cPCI
   — Military-aerospace
   — Telecom
• Design tips and techniques

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how 3M is providing designers with a cost-effective and pain-free path to higher speeds, low skew and low crosstalk.
