Objective
This specification defines the performance, test, quality and reliability requirements of the AirMax VSe®
press-fit product.
2.0
Scope
This specification is applicable to the AirMax VSe® press-fit family of products, which provides a high speed
board-to-board interconnect for differential pairs and single-ended lines. Connectors include 3-pair, 4-pair
and 5-pair backpanel RAR and 3-pair RAH on 2mm column pitch. For backpanel applications, the VSe®
RAR will be mated to VS® VH or a VSe® RAH will be mated to a VS® VR. The test sequences defined in
this specification meet the intent of Telcordia GR-1217-CORE requirements.
