Molex nano-pitch I/O interconnect system now at Mouser

The Molex Nano-Pitch I/O interconnect system benefits new high-performance applications by delivering robust, small-form-factor, high-speed and multi-protocol interconnects suitable for both internal and external systems. The Nano-Pitch I/O system features a continuous ground-signal-signal-ground pinout concept, which optimises it for high-speed applications and maximises the number of high-speed lanes within the lengths provided. The system provides up to 12 gigabits per second (Gbps) per channel in SAS 3.0, and up to 16 gigatransfers per second (GT/s) per channel in PCI Express. The system's low-profile connector supports SAS-3/SAS-4 and PCIe Gen 3/Gen 4 interfaces, while the 42-circuit, 0.50mm-pitch, metal shell SMT connectors are available in both right-angle and vertical versions to fit a variety of placement options.

Molex's Nano-Pitch I/O system offers staggered, reliable and constant dual-row contact configuration, enabling engineers to add components without shutting down the system (known as hot pluggability). The connectors also provide optimal routing for high-speed trace connections while reducing the need for PCB real estate. The Nano-Pitch I/O interconnect system provides inventory and manufacturing assembly efficiencies in data centre and enterprise storage systems, storage racks, storage controllers, and host bus adapter (HBA) servers, as well as telecom hubs, servers, switches, and routers.
