Molex I-Trac System: Backplane-connector system suits standard and orthogonal architectures

Mar 30 2007 1:28PM | Permalink |Comments (0) |


For server, storage, telecommunications, and data-networking applications, the I-Trac Backplane-connector system features a broadside-coupled, skew-equalized design able to handle 12.5 Gbps. The option to rotate the headers 90° on one side of the midplane allows the device to use the same part numbers for standard and orthogonal architectures. Support for quad-trace routing reduces PCB (printed-circuit-board)-layer count; you can reduce midplane PCB layers by leveraging the orthogonal capabilities of the device. The orthongonal architecture eliminates the need for PCB traces by using shared vias. The system consists of backplane-signal-header modules and daughtercard-signal modules. Available in seven-, 11-, and 15-row versions, an 11-row backplane-connector system costs 7 cents per mated line.
