84512-102LF

The Amphenol 84512-102LF is part of the MEG-ARRAY® Mezzanine Connector system, designed to provide high density and high speed benefits. This connector system utilizes a 1.27mm x 1.27mm array of discrete circuit contacts, enabling flexible ground distribution to optimize high-speed signal integrity. It supports differential pair performance with under 1% cross-talk at speeds exceeding 10 Gb/s, and documented high-speed performance up to 28 Gb/s for specific stack heights.

The connector features a patented BGA interconnect design, which lowers assembly costs by using standard SMT processes. The BGA attachment provides self-alignment and self-leveling. The system is available in various sizes and PCB stack heights, ranging from 4mm to 14mm, with position counts from 81 to 528.

Target markets and applications include communications (transmission, access, switching, optics, networking), data (servers, storage), and industrial equipment. The materials used are Liquid Crystal Polymer for the housing and Copper Alloy for the contacts, with plating options including Au over Ni or GXT™ over Ni. Solderballs are typically 63Sn/37Pb or Pb-Free 95.5 Sn/4 Ag/0.5 Cu.
