Plug Standards-Compliant Circuit Modules and Connectors

摘要

A high speed, high reliability circuit module and connective strategy that is connectively compliant with a receptacle in compliance with the SFF-8639 Specification whether expressing for example a PCIe interface or a high speed SAS interface. The present invention reduces impedance discontinuity by reducing the interconnection length and cross-planar transit found in typical specification compliant connectors.

主权项

1. A circuit module configured for connective mating with a SFF-8639 compliant receptacle, the circuit module comprising:
a PCB with a tab, the tab having a tab thickness and a first plurality of conductive pads disposed along a first conductive pad plane; the PCB further having a first plurality of etch traces, the first plurality of etch traces being disposed at a first etch trace plane and individual etch traces of the first plurality of etch traces being connected to individual ones of the first plurality of conductive pads, the first conductive pad plane and the first etch trace plane being substantially coplanar.
