VHDM-HSD™ FAQs

Electrical
What is the current rating of the signal pins?
What is the current rating of the shields?
What is the current rating of the power blade?
What is the contact resistance between the compliant pin and the plated-through hole?

Mechanical
What is the per-pin insertion/mating force?
What is the normal force per contact beam?
How much wipe under load do I get with high-speed?
How long can my daughtercard connector assembly be before I need to split it and use a joiner module?
Do I have to use end-caps or guide pins in my configuration?
The daughtercard connector is press-fit. Do I still need screws through my daughtercard?
The connector does not look symmetrical. Do I need special right-hand and left-hand polarizing/guidance modules on the backplane?
What is the minimum card-slot pitch for the VHDM-HSD connector?
What are the minimum and maximum printed circuit board thicknesses required for Amphenol's VHDM connectors?




Electrical

What is the current rating of the signal pins?
1 amp

 

What is the current rating of the shields?
2 amps

What is the current rating of the power blade?
10 amps per blade, derated ; 4 amps/80 volts per blade, hot swap

 

What is the contact resistance between the compliant pin and the plated-through hole?
1 milliohm, maximum

 


Mechanical

What is the per-pin insertion/mating force?
40 grams per signal and 40 grams per each beam on the backplane shield.

What is the normal force per contact beam?
50 grams minimum per beam, end of life

 

How much wipe under load do I get with high-speed?
1.05mm minimum with 4.25mm signal; 3mm minimum with 6.25mm shield; 2.5mm minimum with advanced mate shield (VHDM-HSD 5-Row)

How long can my daughtercard connector assembly be before I need to split it and use a joiner module?
Up to 304mm (12 inches) long.

Do I have to use end caps or guide pins in my configuration?
End caps must be used in a connector pattern that does not have power or guide modules at the ends. This is done in order to cover up the exposed metal on the wafer. Guide pins are strongly recommended at both ends, with a design guideline of one guide module minimum for assemblies under 150mm (six inches) long, and two guide modules for assemblies 150mm and longer.

The daughtercard connector is press-fit. Do I still need screws through my daughtercard?
Yes, for joiners and guide modules.

The connector does not look symmetrical. Do I need special right-hand and left-hand polarizing/guidance modules on the backplane?
Yes. There are right-hand and left-hand polarizing/guidance modules for the 5-row and 8-row 10- and 25-column backplane shrouds.

 

What is the minimum card-slot pitch for the VHDM-HSD connector?

8-Row is 22mm

6-Row is 18mm

5-Row is 15mm

 

What are the minimum and maximum printed circuit board thicknesses required for Amphenol's VHDM connectors?
0.070" (1,78mm) minimum. There really is no stated maximum since the board fabricator is restricted by the manufacturing aspect ratio for the daughtercard & backplane.
