Electronics engineers requiring high-density, high-speed 2 mm shielded cable assemblies for mid-plane applications can get lower EMI emissions while maintaining signal integrity using new products from the 3M Electronic Solutions Division. The 3M brand 2 mm SCI Cable Assembly is a fully shielded control impedance connector that provides high density and high performance in a 2 mm form factor. Other products in the 3M 2 mm SCI product platform include 2 mm SCI terminations on coaxial or twin axial cables.
By applying matched impedance and large gauge wire in the product, the cable assembly can run at a higher baud rate over longer distances. Designed as a robust interconnect, the 3M 2 mm SCI cable assembly has a metal connector with flexible cable, creating a robust and durable termination to the connector shield. These features allow designers to improve system quality and reliability. The 3M cable assemblies mate to HSHM and CompactPCI backplane headers, Futurebus and 2 mm pin strips.
The 3M 2 mm SCI cable assembly can fit into several platform design options and can be customized to a specific customer need using its 1x2 building block. Because customers can specify the orientation and size of a potential carrier, cable assemblies can fit into customer's configurations and envelope space.
