UHM socket connector
Toby Electronics has announced that the fully shielded 3M UHM socket connector has been specified as the high-speed J2 connector in the PICMG 2.30 CompactPCI Plus IO standard.
This standard adds PCI Express, Ethernet, Sata, SAS and USB extensions to the CompactPCI family of specifications while preserving PCI bus connectivity and backward compatibility.
3M's UHM socket, in its J2 configuration, was specified by the new standard due to its signal transmission quality and backward compatibility.
The UHM socket connector is said to allow end users of CompactPCI equipment to leverage their existing investment in PCI bus cards while using the same system for newer, high-speed serial data applications.
'Virtual co-axial box' shielding technology from 3M is said to reduce the severe cross-talk commonly experienced by 2mm hard-metric connectors at 1-1.5Gbps speeds, enabling the UHM socket connectors to achieve speeds greater than 7Gbps.
The UHM socket is designed to mate with industry standard 2mm hard-metric header connectors (IEC 61076-4-101).
