The 40-position CHAMP
.050 Series I, Blindmate
Single Connector attachment
(SCA 2) answers the
industry’s need for one connector
that is suitable for
the direct attachment of
Fibre Channel disk drives to
backplanes and motherboards.
The CHAMP .050 Series,
SCA 2 connector in a 40-
position configuration has
been designed for serial
transfer Fibre Channel
devices, and carries all
signals as required by the
Fibre Channel Physical
Interface and the Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop
Standards. In addition, all
required power and auxiliary
signals are carried by
the same single attachment
connector.
Designed and manufactured
with the Disk Drive
Industry’s quality requirements
as the driving motivation,
the 40-position SCA
2 connector features the
industry accepted polarized
“D” connector interface.
Features include housings
made of UL 94V-0 rated IR
reflow process compatible
high temperature material,
gold-over-nickel plated
ribbon style contacts,
Advanced Ground Contacts
(AGC) with integral metal
hold-down, and complete
power sequencing capabilities.
In addition to these
features, the CHAMP Series
I, Blindmate SCA 2 connector
is fully compatible with
existing CHAMP .050 Series
I connectors.
Blindmate SCA 2 connectors
are the interface for 3.5
Fibre Channel disk drives
and will permit direct drive
attachment to backplane
arrays, which can eliminate
costly cable assemblies
and adapter boards while
improving system reliability.
The CHAMP .050 Series,
SCA 2 Connector in a 20-
position configuration has
been designated the interface
for the Gigabit
Interface Converter specification.
A straddle-mount
plug is used on the GBIC,
a vertical receptacle is
available for direct attachment
to a backplane and a
right angle receptacle is
available for adapter card
applications.
