Interconnect miniaturization and reliability are important, especially in small, dense, and portable applications in industries such as military/aerospace and medical. Pin-in-ball surface mount area arrays have been widely used for decades but have lacked IPC classification. This paper focuses on the research and development of these next-generation connectors.
Samtec Flyover cable systems improve signal integrity, increase design flexibility, and optimize thermal performance by routing high-speed signals through low-loss, low-skew twinax cable. They operate across distances that can be up to several feet long while removing the need for exotic clock data recovery circuits (CDRs) or retimers.
