DEscription
®
The MEG-Array Mezzanine Connector
system provides the high density and high
speed benefits of a large array supported by
the reliability and low costs of standard surface
mount PCB assembly.
1.27mm x 1.27mm array of discrete circuit
contacts allows flexible ground distribution to
optimize high speed signal integrity at speeds
exceeding 10 Gb/s. MEG-Array is offered in a
variety of PCB mezzanine stack heights.
FCI’s advanced manufacturing supports a
patented BGA interconnect design. Multiple
in-process vision systems monitor BGA contact
integrity including solder sphere size, location
and co-planarity plus other critical-to-function
attributes.
