High-speed backplane connectors provide system architects with design flexibility

TE Connectivity's STRADA Whisper product family, available now from TTI Europe, operates with low insertion loss, very low noise and little to no skew – all of which provides system architects with design flexibility and high design margin. Particular versions are available for 100Ohm and 85Ohm applications, so there is no compromise on impedance discontinuities. Mechanically, the connector family reflects most high-speed backplane connectors in the market for simple implementation. It distinguishes itself through folded signal pins circled by strong, protective C-shaped shields, which provides the product family with one of the most strong offerings in the market. Also, the connector footprint keeps crosstalk down, and the overall connector design uses latest EON technology.
