Samtec’s expanded Data Rate cable assembly system provides flexible high-speed cable-to-board solutions on 0.5 mm (0.0197 in.) and 0.635 mm (0.025 in. ) pitch (HBCD series and MICD/SQCD series) for single-ended applications using Samtec EyeSpeed micro coax cable. The MICD/SQCD series cables are designed to mate with Samtec’s Q Series high speed strip products and include an internal ground plane. While the MICD series mates with the mixed technology footprint MIS/MIT series Q strips with the ground plane through-hole soldered, the SQCD series mates with Samtec’s fully surface mount QTS/QSS series Q Strips.  Performance is typically up to 1.2 Gbps for 12 in. (300 mm) cable lengths and 450 MHz at one meter cable lengths.

Likewise, the HBCD Data Rate cables mate with the company’s BTH/BSH series micro strips on 0.5 mm (0.0197 in.) pitch. These connectors are similar to Q strips, but without the internal ground plane.    Typical performance is 2.4 Gbps for 12 in. (300 mm) cables and 560 MHz for one meter long cables.  Applications include test point probes and emulation connections.  One hundred pin designs will mate with Agilent logic analyzer test points. Pricing depends on cable length, cable type and number of contacts.
