Push the Speed & Density Envelope

The Impact backplane connector system offers a cost-effective, highly configurable backplane solution to address the demand for increased network bandwidth and advanced technology. While supporting high speed performance and upgrades with data rates up to 25 Gbps, these connectors save space using differential pair density with up to 80 pairs per linear inch. These are available in two compliant-pin design options on both daughter-card and backplane connectors, providing you great flexibility in optimizing your designs for advanced mechanical and electrical performance. Its mating interface provides in-line staggered, bifurcated contacts that provide two points of contact for long-term, reliable performance and built-in, ground-signal sequencing.
