This module demonstrates how to significantly improve the performance of legacy 2 mm hard metric backplanes by up to 5 Gbps without disruptive and expensive backplane redesign and a forklift chassis upgrade.
Until recently, there were no known interconnect products available on the market to support upgrading existing 2 mm hard metric connector-based systems in a convenient, cost-effective manner. However, 3M MetPak High Speed Hard Metric (or ‘HSHM’) Press-Fit Connectors are designed to resolve this problem and provide a cost-effective upgrade to higher speed.
