Impact backplane connectors are for data networking and telecommunications equipment. Contain a broad-edge coupled design that uses low impedance and localized ground return path in a differential pair array. Differential pairs are tightly coupled and surrounded by ground structures to isolate the pairs. Header construction offers air pockets selectively placed in the header floor to isolate signal pairs. Header signal pins are straight with no forms or offsets. Mating interface features a bifurcated beam with two points of contact with the second staggered 1mm behind the first. Offer two different hole sizes and tail lengths. Features include 25 Gb/s performance; 100 Ohm impedance; 0.46mm (0.018") PTH or 0.39mm (0.0154") PTH, and a robust daughtercard connector design.
