The release of Samtec's 10 mm stack height, AcceleRate® mP (UDM6, UDF6) combination signal pin and power blade connectors have been announced. The dual functionality of digital signaling and high power eliminates the need for additional connectors, reducing overall PCB space without sacrificing functionality. As a result, AcceleRate® mP connectors suit any application requiring signal/power routing versatility in a small footprint, including datacom, 5G/6G wireless networks, industrial automation and robotics, military and aerospace, and instrumentation.
The open-pin-field design of the high-density array side of the connector supports 64 Gbps PAM4 (32 Gbps NRZ) and encourages routing flexibility. This means a designer can simultaneously run single-ended signals, differential-pair signals, and lower-speed power using specialized pin assignments based on specific application requirements. Ground paths can be strategically placed to reduce crosstalk and control impedance.
To further design-in flexibility, a variety of pin and blade options are available at both 5 mm and 10 mm stack heights. The open-pin-field design provides 60, 120, 180, or 240 total pins on a six-row grid, while 4, 6, 8, or 10 high-power blade options are available.
Severe Environment Testing, also known as SET, is a Samtec initiative to test products beyond typical industry standards and specifications to ensure they are more than suitable for rugged, harsh environments. SET products are approved for Class D missions that require high-reliability, quick-turn, and cost-effective solutions for LEO satellites, SmallSats, CubeSats, and other space exploration applications. AcceleRate mP (UDM6, UDF6) connectors are SET certified.
