TE Connectivity MicroTCA Connector System

TE Connectivity offers MicroTCA Connector Systems through TTI. MicroTCA is complementary to ATCA and is optimized for smaller scale and more price sensitive applications. MicroTCA supports mezzanine boards, conforms to the AMC standard, and connects to the backplane, eliminating the need to use an additional carrier board. Like ATCA, the MicroTCA is a modular, open standards based shelf platform.

TTI offers several solutions for the MicroTCA Connector System.
