Molex, Inc. — August 2006

The iPass interconnect system is a family of I/O connectors that can fit a compact AdvancedMC card
- They are used for PCI Express, SAS, and SATA high-speed connections
- Fully shielded cable assemblies, guide frames, and host connectors to assure good signal integrity
- Industry standard for PCI Express 4x, 8x, and 16x
- Also industry standard interconnect for SAS and SATA
- Diecast guide frames align the mating cable for a robust cable-to-chassis interface
- Guide frame panel-mount gaskets provide improved EMI performance
- Screw attachment for the guide frame to the PCB, which provides a rugged connection for large cable bundles
- Multiple guide frame configurations provide board design flexibility
- Keying to MSA specification eliminates accidental mating to other cable configurations
- Pick and placed SMT host connector is small and high-speed
- Reduced cable plug width allows customers to populate two x4 ports or two x8 ports on a compact AdvancedMC mezzanine card
- Flexible color coded latch-pull provides an intuitive latch and unlatch mechanism and identifies PCI Express assemblies
