The High-Speed Card-Edge Connector SPD08 is the latest board-to-board offering from 3M. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications in datacom systems, enterprise servers, telecommunications equipment defense and test applications.

The SPD08 connector can also be used in several different design applications, including: mezzanine board stacking designs requiring transmission of high-speed (up to 15 Gbps), high density, controlled impedance signals; and wire-to-board designs requiring transmission of high speed signals (up to 20 Gbps).

Key Features:

• Supports High-speed Board-to-board Connections
  • Controlled impedance, crosstalk limiting contact design supports speeds up to 15 Gbps (at 30 mm stack height)
  • Embedded ground plane within riser card limits row-to-row crosstalk and enhances signal integrity
  • Supports XAUI, PCI Express (Gen 1/2/3), SATA and other application speeds

• Flexible Stacking Height and Robust Connection
  • Supports flexible stacking height (16-40 mm) with the use of a PCB intermediate riser card
  • Robust contact design is tolerant of misalignment, provides a reliable connection and supports blind mate

• High Density Board Footprint
  • High density (0.8 mm pitch), two-row design conserves board space and simplifies trace routing

• Flexible Design Options
  • 20-200 contact positions (see availability and standard configuration details in customer drawing 78-5100-2420-7)
  • Available with optional latches for robust mechanical stability
  • 0.5A current rating per contact for mixed signal and power applications

• Widespread Applicability
  • Supports up to 25 Gbps wire-to-board applications using 3M Twin Axial Cable terminated to the edge

Applications:

• Communications Networking
• Enterprise
• Industrial/Factory Automation
• Test and Instrumentation
• Military Applications
