The ERmet ZD range of connectors is specifically designed for high speed differential signalling in data/telecomm applications at data rates of up to 5 Gb/s. This robust, high performance, modular connector system is also designed to be used in conjunction with the 2 mm hard metric (IEC 61076-4-101) family of connectors. It shares the chassis and board design features along with the common layout references.
The connector meets the electrical performance requirements of high speed, low voltage differential signalling. The ERmet ZD connector family is available from Actum in both surface mount and compliant pin, pressfit versions. The backplane module is a male pin header that has three mating levels. The ground shield and signal pins mate sequentially at 1,5 mm intervals.
The robust mechanical design and excellent signal integrity are a result of the internal differential shielding scheme and the 'L' shaped male shields. The inherently rigid male shields stand higher than the signal pins and surround each pair. An improved guidance feature completes the rugged mechanical design.
Optimised grid design and SMT termination improve RF characteristics. Easy and economical trace routing is achieved by in line design of signal and ground pins.
