The MINIPAK HD Connector is a 2-piece
board-to-board connector designed to meet
the PICMG MicroTCA specification. The
connector consists of 24 power contacts
and 72 high density signal contacts.

Application:
Designed for a broad range of applications
in Telecom Edge and customer premise
equipment, CATV hardware, wireless base
stations and other communication equipment
manufactured to the MicroTCA
(PICMG AdvancedMC 1.0) specification.
Rugged contact design and post-plated 30
micro-inch gold plating provides long-term
reliability in demanding environments.

Z-PACK HM-Zd connectors are one of the hottest high-speed, differential, board to backplane electrical connectors to hit the telecommunications and computer industries. It’s an extension of the already established IEC 61076-4-101, Hard Metric connector family, however HM-Zd provides a differential solution for applications up to 12.5 Gb/s.

Tyco Electronics’ XAUI HM-Zd Interoperability Platform is a common platform for interoperability testing supported by members of the 10 GEA XAUI Interoperability Group and the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium. HM-Zd has also been chosen as the backplane interconnect for the PICMG 3.x (ATCA) industry standard, driven toward dramatically improving and simplifying the routing of electronic interconnects.

The AdvancedTCA Guide Modules can be used in a wide variety of applications.For motherboard-to-daughtercard applications, the vertical pin and right angle socket can be used. This popular configuration is further supported by our wide offering of available keying positions. Each of the two keyed guide pins and guide sockets per module can be produced in a variety of different key
positions.

For co-planar applications, the right angle guide pins are used along with the right angle guide sockets. Both vertical and right angle guide pins are available in short or long sizes, to accommodate use with different Tyco Electronics connectors.
