GIG-Array® Connectors

Amphenol Communications Solutions offers its GIG-Array, BGA mezzanine connector with multiple stack heights and connector signal sizes

Image of Amphenol FCI's GIG-Array® Connectors Amphenol Communications Solutions' GIG-Array connector is designed to meet the needs of up to 10 Gb/s applications requiring up to 296 signal pins per connector. Amphenol ICC's long tradition as a BGA connector innovator assures expertise and reliability in the GIG-Array BGA design. The combination of multiple stack heights (15 mm to 40 mm) and multiple sizes (104, 200, and 296 signals) utilizing a 100 Ω differential matched impedance design allows for optimal design flexibility while yielding less than 1% cross-talk performance.

Amphenol Communications Solutions' patented BGA design is supported by fully automated quality-control systems featuring 100% inspections of assembly coplanarity, solder sphere size and location, as well as critical-to-function terminal component attributes. Multiple in-line vision systems, quality-control product audits, and statistical-process controls are all a part of Amphenol Communications Solutions' state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Features
  • RoHS compliant (lead free) options are available
  • Ball-grid array (BGA) termination for process friendly attachment
  • 1 mm x 0.65 mm, BGA interface pitch optimizes routing and electrical performance
  • Stack heights available from 15 mm to 40 mm provide mezzanine design flexibility
  • Polarized design assures proper mating of the connector
  • Dual-beam signal contacts provide two points of contact, increasing product reliability
  • 100 Ω differential pair matched impedance assures consistent high-speed performance
  • Connector sizes of 104, 200, and 296 signals providing 62 signal contacts per linear cm (158 signal contacts per linear inch) allow for optimization of board space and signal requirements
  • Up to 10 Gbs/s differential pair performance
  • Very low cross-talk (VLC) design of less than 1% allows for required signal-integrity performance
