I thought the pitch would be 50 mils for an array connection and 12.5 mils
at the trace level (200 mils * 500 mils / 40 connections). Laurence - how
did you get to 2.5 mils/connection? I've used controlled impedance AMP
connectors that had an effective 12.5 mil pitch (two rows at 25 mil pitch
per row), however, with the connector housing I think you would be over
your allotted space. Might want to check AMP's web site in case they have
anything in a smaller form factor.
