February 16, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

Molex Inc. (Lisle, IL), a global electronic components company, offered its Plateau HS Dock™ connectors that deliver performance and design flexibility for PCB blade and PCB mid-plane telecommunications and computer server applications. Utilizing its proprietary Plateau Technology that features a gold-plated housing, Molex created fully shielded connectors that feature high-performance and increased signal integrity.

The 1.50 mm (0.059 in) Plateau HS Dock connectors are available in multiple configurations, including a right-angle receptacle to either a right angle or vertical plug that is intermateable and interchangeable. The Plateau HS Dock connectors feature four levels of mating to be used in hot-pluggable applications, as well as a compliant pin for the PCB interface. The high-speed connectors offer increased design flexibility with their offset heights. Plus, they also include a low mating force, guide features, and mating in a standard or inverted position.

The Plateau HS Dock connectors are now available. Typical lead-time is four weeks.
