A new connector that is ideal for internal connection of Thunderbolt (TM) 3! Simultaneously achieves both EMI control and high-speed transmission

Dai-ichi Seiko Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; President: Hideki Konishi; 1st Section, Tokyo Stock Exchange, Code: 6640) has developed "CABLINE®-VS II," a new product from the micro coaxial connector CABLINE Series distributed through the connector-related business brand "I-PEX Connectors." The new product features enhanced EMI shielding properties and supports internal connection of Thunderbolt^TM 3 (20 Gbps/lane).

"CABLINE®-VS II" board to micro coaxial line connector

With the demand for lower loss due to increased data transmission speeds and concerns over interference with antenna frequency bands inside IoT devices, there is a need for countermeasures against noise with regard to electronic parts mounted in devices.

To date, we have contributed to enhancing the performance of information communication devices through the development and distribution of the "CABLINE® Series" of micro coaxial connectors. Against this background, we have now successfully developed the micro coaxial connector "CABLINE^®-VS II," which supports Thunderbolt^TM 3 (20 Gbps/lane), and in which we have implemented measures against noise by adopting a 360-degree EMI shield cover.

This is a micro coaxial connector in which a 360-degree EMI shield cover has been adopted as a solution offering both in-device noise control and support for high-speed transmission standards. Adoption of a 360-degree EMI shield cover reduces EMI, thereby enhancing design flexibility. Furthermore, there is no need to take additional measures such as attaching shield tape for noise control and installing additional shield covers.
