Summary: Connector Influence
The following list shows, which component mainly
influences performance degradations in high speed
systems:
• Signal loss (|S21|):
is mostly dominated by the losses in the PCB
• Xtalk:
can be very high in the connector to PCB interface
• Reflections:
can be very high in the connector to PCB interface
interface
• Skew: in both, the connector and the PCB interface

Case Study: ERNI ERmet 0XT
This case study takes into account the connector to PCB interface of the ERNI
ERmet 0XT connector which can be used for data rates of at least 10GBit/s.
The simulations are performed in a fully 3-D EM simulator (CST Microwave
Studio).

Future Requirements High Speed Connectors
• Minimize reflections through miniaturisation and optimisation of
the mating zone
• Keep crosstalk low with improved shielding or clever arrangement
of signals
• Improve connector to PCB interface by the usage of
– smaller pressfit zones
– BGA like balls to solder on SMT pads ?
• Improve skew behavior
Connectors should be ready for the 40GBit/s challenge as outlined in the
BMBF Verbundprojekt Giganoboard:

Leiterplatten für die elektrische Datenübertragung bis 40 GBit/s ..... eine
