BOARD TO BOARD CONNECTORS
®
MEG-ARRAY CONNECTOR SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The MEG-Array® connector is designed to meet the needs
of 10Gb/s applications requiring up to 528 signal pins per
connector. The combination of multiple stack heights (4mm
to 14mm) and multiple sizes (81 signals to 528 signals)
allows for optimal design flexibility while yielding less than
1% cross-talk performance when configured differentially.
FCI has produced the MEG-Array® Connector System since
1996, shipping over 10 billion BGA contact interfaces
illustrating FCI’s extended tradition as the premier BGA
interconnect innovator and supplier. FCI’s patented BGA
design is supported by fully automated quality control
systems featuring 100% inspections of assembly coplanarity,
solder sphere size and location, as well as critical-to-function
terminal component attributes. Multiple in-line vision systems,
quality control product audits, and statistical process controls
are all a part of our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
