Circuit Assembly -CA- Designs New High-Density SCSI-3 Connector.


Business Editors and High-Tech Writers

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2001

Circuit Assembly (CA) is proud to announce the launch of its newly developed MDS MDS,

 connector, a high-density 68-position SCSI connector There have been a large variety of SCSI connectors in use at one time or another in the computer industry. Probably no computer interconnect (with the possible exception of RS-232 serial) has caused as much confusion.  designed for high performance SCSI SCSI

 applications.

Compatible with the SCSI-3 standard, this .050-inch socket is CA's response to the challenge of providing the market with a high-quality connector that meets the requirements of competitive pricing and high-volume demands.

The MDS connector will effectively serve the SCSI-3 high performance disk drive market, as well as mass storage applications that require a RAID system. The MDS provides a robust and cost-effective design, with superior quality, improved mounting performance and proprietary IDT IDT Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA, USA)

The design and quality of the MDS connector provide superior termination to cable. It features CA's latest IDT design, essentially a cable guidance system, which has a grooved cover and grooved retainer with a unique two-prong contour design contact. The cable alignment system captures the cable to ensure precise location of conductors before, during, and after termination.

The unique contact contour design improves dielectric dielectric (dī'ĭlĕk`trĭk), material that does not conduct electricity readily, i.e., an insulator (see insulation). A good dielectric should also have other properties: It must resist breakdown under high voltages; it should not  between the IDT contact and adjacent conductor. The unified die cast frame consolidates several components in one unibody design and greatly improves the mounting and assembly quality.

CA anticipates widespread acceptance of the MDS product from large volume OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  manufacturers of mass storage systems and contract manufacturers who are currently using CA's 68NFDS NFDS NPECIDE Fertilizer Decision Software  or a competitive SCSI-3 connector. CA's leading edge design of the MDS will meet the industry needs for a high quality, cost effective solution for high performance SCSI applications. The MDS connector will be priced at $1.40 in high volume quantities.

With headquarters in Irvine, Circuit Assembly Corp. has more than three decades of experience as a leading developer of interface connectors and cable assemblies for the electronics industry. The company delivers a host of interconnect products for multiple applications.
