Commenting on the new additions Jairo Guerrero, group product manager, Molex said, “The CoPlanar and Mezzanine connectors share the same fundamental design features and performance capabilities found in our entire line of backplane connector products and provide additional configuration options giving design engineers more choices.”

The Impact Backplane Connector System is available in 2- to 6-pair configurations with a complete range of guidance and power solution options. It provides data rates up to 25 Gbps and superior signal density up to 80 differential pairs per inch. The Impact system’s broad-edge-coupled transmission technology enables low cross talk and high signal bandwidth while minimising channel-performance variation across every differential pair within the system. 

In addition to sharing these features, the Impact CoPlanar Connector System is available in multiple compliant-pin design options on both right angle male and right angle female connectors. The 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.
