This technical breakthrough, allows for a high level of customization, which includes the various IMLA counts and IMLA spacings.

Features:
- Contains no interleaving shields
- Facilitates high signal density per linear board length
- Maximizes the use of air as a dielectric
- Full set of building blocks supporting standard and reversed gender,   designed for application in Hard Metric building practices
- Versatile IMLA design (Insert Molded Lead frame Assembly)
- Compliant Press Fit, 0.6 mm PTH
- Low weight
- Low insertion & extraction forces
- Range of accessories available (guide pins, power modules)
- Allows for customer signal allocation within the same connector (e.g.    single ended and/ or differential)

Benefits:
- Easy to facilitate multiple column-spacings and -counts in a module
- Supports very high speed system designs (up to 25 Gb/s demonstrated)
- Allows for lower cost per mated line
- Exhibits low insertion loss and low cross talk
- Eliminates the risk of bent pins on the back plane
- Eliminates the need to define, order and stock multiple part numbers
- Provides flexibility to systems designers
- Scalable to very high speed performance requirements
