Interconnection


High-speed connectors

3 August 2011 Interconnection

Although compact, the connector is robust and can achieve up to 2,5 Gbps transmission, dependent on the cable type. The range consists of IDC and solder type cable-mount plugs and surface-mount receptacles in 17, 27, 37 and 51 contact sizes.

The structure of the connector features a durable D-shaped opening on the mating face of the plug and receptacle to resist against wrenching forces. There is a choice of robust screw locks or user-friendly one-touch locks available in metal or plastic to offer design flexibility and secure locking. The plug has contacts which are staggered on the first and second row, creating a unique contact arrangement for IDC termination to ensure that each cable is clear of the other contacts.

The termination of the cable onto the IDC contact is a simple process with a dedicated tool available to allow all cables to be inserted and terminated in both rows at once. Twinax or twisted pair type cable can be used in AWG #28 size. The internal metal shielded structure is easy to assemble and has desirable shielding properties for EMI mitigation.

The surface mount receptacles are available in straight or right angle versions with a 0,5 mm fine mounting pitch to save space. Through-hole solder posts from the outer shell maximise the retention and stability of the receptacle to the PCB board.

Suitable applications include industrial controllers and medical devices.
