two-piece interconnects.
In TE and independent lab
tests, the MULTIGIG RT Tier
1 connector has performed
in excess of 3 Gb/s using
standard FR-4 board mate-
rial and routing techniques.
Power modules are available
with two- and four-voltage
options, each circuit capa-
ble of carrying 20 amps.
The robust metal guide pin
provides eight keying
I Optimized footprints
I Robust design
The MULTIGIG RT Tier 1
connector is available for
both 20.32 [.800] and 25.40
[1.000] pitch card spacing.
The totally modular system
allows flexibility in choosing
signal and power modules
I Low noise levels
I Supports differential pair
