Molex iPass+ zHD Vertical Connectors
Molex iPass+ zHD Vertical Connectors operate at SAS-3 and Projected SAS-4 high-speed bandwidths. These low-profile Molex connectors drive next generation data rates and port densities, improving system airflow and signal integrity by eliminating mid-plane connections. Molex iPass+ zHD Connectors are 0.75mm pitch vertical connectors feature a robust and secure connection and are scalable up to 96Gbps data rates (24Gbps over four lanes).
The vertical press-fit iPass+ zHD connector nearly doubles the number of ports on the PCB compared to conventional iPass connectors. One-step placement reduces cost and time associated with the wave solder process. These iPass+ zHD connectors mate to all current miniSAS HD (Molex iPass+ HD) passive copper, active copper, and optical cable assemblies. A positive locking latch ensures secure mating retention to cable assemblies. Available in multiple configurations (1-by-1, 1-by-2, 1-by-4), these versatile press-fit iPass+ zHD connectors accommodate a range of high density data and networking applications.
