A founding member of the CFA, ITT ICS helped develop the CF standards, which require designers to integrate both parallel and serial interfaces into a single connector and cover set package.

The new CFast specifications are based on Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) and require connector solutions that combine CF and ATA Serial Transport (AST) to provide flexibility and speed in a variety of applications, from enterprise storage systems to handheld portable devices.

The new ITT CFast 24-pin surface-mount host connector was developed to meet a demand for faster storage speeds.

It mounts to the printed circuit board, allowing reflow, hot bar or hand soldering, and is able to withstand 10,000 mating cycles.

Customised ejector mechanisms are supported, giving original equipment manufacturers greater flexibility in end-product design.

The new CFast host connector meets all current CFA standard requirements and is also RoHS compliant.

In 2009, ITT ICS introduced a two-piece CF ultrasonic weld frame kit and is now supplying this technology worldwide.
