AirMax VS high-speed connector system includes mezzanine, co-planar, high-power, I/O and backplane header versions. Said to offer scalability, flexibility, high density and performance headroom through its use of air as the dielectric and its Insert Molded Leadframe Assembly (IMLA).
 

Uses edge-coupling technology and an air dielectric between adjacent conductors, delivering high signal density with low insertion loss and low crosstalk, without metal shields. 
 

Dual-beam receptacle contact provides two points of contact, one on each side of the header blade. Vertical header features a robust housing providing generous “lead in.” Comes with protective cover that also serves as press-in block during connector installation.
 

Comprised of a full set of building blocks for backplane, co-planar, mezzanine and cable-to-board applications. Are scaleable to the number of columns; available with housings in various IMLA counts. 
 

Allow for custom pin assignments (differential or single-ended signals as well as power), so system data rates can grow from 2.5 Gb/s to over 12 Gb/s without re-design of the basic platform.
