HIGH SPEED DATA CONNECTOR MEETS FCC SPECS, SAVES COST, COMPLEXITY.

New 3-in-1 SCSI-11 connector meets or exceeds shielding requirements of FCC Part 15, sub-part "J". Classes A and B for RFI suppression.

Clarksville, IN -- Ranoda Electronics Inc here announces a new shielded connector for use in new, state-of-the-art high speed SCSI -1I data storage applications.

New Ultra-SCSI-II Shielded Connector from Ranoda combines data, control and power in one compact connector body. Makers of mass memory peripherals can use this new connector to reduce inventory count and save assembly time and circuit board real estate. Additional cost reductions are realized because RFI shielding is now an integral part of the connector, thus eliminating the need for on-board ferrite beads and other RFI shielding and control devices on the circuit board.

The new 3-in-1 combination connector features 68 shielded SCSI-11 data contacts, rated at 1 Amp each; 14 user-control contacts located on 0.100 inch centers, and four power contacts rated at 4 Amps each on standard 0.200 inch centers. Data, control, and power pin groupings each feature individual keyways for correct orientation of system mating connectors.

Contacts are made of phosphor bronze, copper or brass. Mating contact faces are plated with a low-resistance gold flash over nickel. Solder connection areas are plated with 100 micro-inches or more of tin-lead solder over nickel.

High temperature thermo-plastic construction provides for high volume reflow soldering operations. The connector body's high temperature resin assures dimensional stability up to 220 deg C for a full minute and 260 deg C for 20 seconds, which is the normal cycle time for solder reflow operations in high volume IR tunnels. Connector operating temperature is rated at - 40 deg C to + 160 deg C. Insulation resistance is 5,000 Megohms or better at room temp.

"Our new 3-in-1 shielded connector promises to be a cost-saving benefit for makers of massive tape backup and storage systems, CD drives, hard disk drives, and other high speed storage peripherals," notes Lawson Williams, Ranoda's Senior Vice President for North American Operations. "It helps reduce the overall installed cost of high speed peripherals, while at the same time meeting FCC specs for RFI."
