AirMax VS®
The AirMax VS® connector utilizes
edge-coupling technology to improve electrical impedance control
with optimized stagger to minimize signal cross-talk. This
innovative combination delivers a cost effective interconnect
for multi-gigabits/s applications.

To leap frog traditional complex Stripline
design, the AirMax VS solution utilizes "Virtual Shields"
thereby eliminating costly metal interleaves between columns.
With removal of the interleaves, the AirMax VS® provides
system designers a cost effective product that offers greater
density (extra differential pair vs. competition) and flexible
board-layout.
In addition, the AirMax VS design offers
the ultimate in configuration control providing the flexibility
of stocking and using the same part number for Differential
Pair, Single Ended Signals, or Power, rather then distinct
parts for separate designs. Centerline spacing for AirMax
VS is available at 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm for different PCB
layer/routing requirements.
The end result for the customer in choosing
AirMax VS is the ability to design present 2.5Gbits/s - 6.25Gbits/s
systems and scale to +12Gbits/s without a platform redesign.
