“With FCI USA’s full portfolio of connectors and interconnect products, we are using the MPH program to highlight specific product groups in which FCI has a leadership position in the marketplace by providing technical expertise and innovative solutions to support the demands of the electronic design community”; states Brent Peterman, VP & General Manager, Americas. These products are optimized for performance and power efficiency in a wide variety of markets and applications including data, communication, consumer, industrial, instrumentation, medical and machine-to-machine.
Mezzanine – FCI’s “Mezz-Select” product portfolio is second to none in terms of stacking heights ranging from 2mm to 40mm, high speed solutions up to 28 Gb/s, contact counts from 4 to 600 per connector and signal densities of 8 to 80 signals per cm in fine pitch and array product styles.
Power – FCI’s portfolio of power connector systems, employing stamped and formed power contacts combined with housings designed to optimize airflow, provide a broad range of options in Amps per contact (7 – 144) and the linear current density ranges from 120 – 610 Amps per linear inch. The PwrBlade® and PwrBlade+® connector systems enable power distribution and signal control within a single connector, making them ideal design choices for the robust power system requirements of servers, storage, and communication equipment. To meet industry demand for reduced power consumption, FCI has recently added a high-power card edge (HPCE) connector series for applications requiring high linear density and low power loss.
