Molex Molex Impact 100Ω Backplane Connector System

Molex Impact 100Ω Backplane Connector System features data rates up to and beyond 25Gbps, superior signal integrity, electrical performance, and modular design. The broad-edge-coupled transmission technology enables low cross-talk noise and high signal bandwidth while minimizing channel-performance variation across every differential pair within the system. The Impact XTR connectors exhibit OEM's a scalable solution that manages speed, density, and cost. Without requiring any footprint or mating backplane connector changes from legacy Impact connectors. The Impact power modules come in three through six pair sizes in conventional, coplanar, and mezzanine configurations with current ratings from 60A to 120A per module. These connector system are ideally used in servers, storage, routers, switches, and healthcare IT.

The Impact system is available in two compliant-pin design options on both daughtercard and backplane connectors, providing customers ultimate flexibility to optimize their designs for superior mechanical and electrical performance. The Impact system's mating interface provides in-line staggered, bifurcated contacts that provide 2 points of contact for long-term reliability performance and built-in, ground-signal sequencing. This reduces the average mating force per connector to improve the mechanical mating performance of the system.

Features
