3M HSHM B19 Connector

Supports speeds of up to 5.0 Gbps per differential pair while maintaining full pin-to-pin compatibility on the backplane with VME64x, P0 VITA 31, and P3 PICMG 2.16 connectors

  • 3M HSHM B19 Connector (from 3M Electronic Solutions Division)Only high-speed designed to meet the industry standard 2 mm hard metric format in accordance with the IEC-61076-4-101 connector standard
  • Use coaxial shielding technology to provide maximum performance with minimal cross talk and skew, allowing them to plug into existing 2 mm hard metric and support PCI Express and protocols
  • Fully compatible designs can be built with fast serial links running up to 5.0 Gbps per differential pair, permitting PCI Express and RapidIO to be run on existing backplanes without an expensive or disruptive upgrade
  • The new 3M B19 connector solution enables the extension of the life of, and preserves the investment in, existing and systems
  • Allows system design engineers working with VME and CompactPCI backplane systems now have a cost-effective path to higher speed serial I/O protocols such as PCI Express and RapidIO without disruptive backplane redesign or a forklift upgrade

Silicon, software, and strategies for embedded devices
Embedded Computing Design magazine is the resource for engineers, architects, and decision makers involved with embedded devices. Topics explored span silicon, software, and strategies for designing and connecting with small devices in mobile, automotive, home, industrial, and medical applications. Departments include Deep Green discussing the latest in energy efficient, low power designs and applications. Content is available in print, E-letter, E-cast, white papers, video, RSS, social networks, and more. Subscriptions are free of charge.
