The vertical backplane receptacles are available in heights of 11.5 and 17.5mm, with options for through-hole solder, press-fit or surface mount board termination. SCA-2 headers are designed for straddle mount board termination.
Compliant to the signal integrity requirement of the SFF-8680 industry specifications, the SCA-2 connector system is suitable for storage backplanes, external storage systems, servers and HDDs.
“These SCA-2 connectors are developed in response to our customers’ requirement for 12G Gb/s performance, paving way for next-gen server and storage solutions by increasing their IO performance,” said Martin Ng, Product Portfolio Director, FCI. “These connectors are designed with ease of adoption, as they are footprint compatible with several existing products which helps to shorten time-to-market.”
