Intermateability Testing, ATCS and FCI XCede® Connectors
(XCede® is a registered trademark of the Amphenol Corp.)
01 May 2011
PURPOSE
ATCS and FCI XCede® connectors were subjected to intermateability testing. Tested product included ATCS gold plated receptacles
and headers, FCI GXT™ plated receptacles and headers, and FCI gold plated headers.
CONCLUSIONS
The tested samples met the specified requirements.
SAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The test samples were composed of 4-pair connector modules. Each connector module was constructed of six (6) wafers, each wafer
having 4 pairs of signal contacts. The header modules were in a vertical configuration; the receptacle modules were in a right angle
configuration. The contact surfaces of the header terminals were lubricated. The details of the submitted test samples are given in the
following table.

Each receptacle monoblock consisted of 3 receptacle modules with a common organizer.
Each backplane test board held three (3) header modules; each daughter card test board held a single 3-module monoblock receptacle
assembly. The test boards provided circuitry for low level contact resistance (LLCR) measurement of 120 positions per sample
comprising 60 signal contacts, 51 wide ground contacts, and 9 narrow (end) ground contacts. Dielectric testing was conducted on
single unmounted modules
The connectors were tested in all inter-mated combinations of ATCS and FCI receptacles with ATCS, FCI GXT™ plated, and FCI
gold plated headers. The resulting sample sets are listed in the following table.
