FCI has developed the next-generation SAS storage interface with its new Mini-SAS HD product portfolio offering. The product line meets the signal bandwidth requirements of 6 Gb/s to 12 Gb/s or the respective SAS 2.1 and proposed SAS 3.0 industry standard signaling specifications. The system also provides a greater linear board port density (11mm port-to-port) versus the previous SAS interconnect systems (with a linear port density of just 19.01 ...

FCI announces the PwrBlade+ AC/DC power distribution connector system. This next-generation power connector is focused on demanding power applications requiring higher linear current density and low power loss. It is capable of 192A/linear inch with eight adjacent high power contacts energized simultaneously and = 0.7mO power contact resistance after environmental exposure.

FCI is expanding its modular jack product line with multi-port and single-port RJ45 connectors. The modular jack is ideal for broadband switches, hubs, routers, servers and telecommunication applications. FCI compared its RJ45 with selective gold plating against traditional versions with full gold plating and found no deterioration of the connector’s durability or performance, providing a clear competitive advantage.

FCI announces the release of the FCI MezzoStak™ 0.5mm-pitch mezzanine connector, a hermaphroditic “mates-to-self” design that uses the same part number for both mated sides. This highly efficient technology reduces engineering, financial, administrative and supply chain maintenance burdens by 50 percent.
