The MULTIGIG RT product
line is a backplane intercon-
nect family that offers flexi-
bility and customization.
This printed circuit based,
pinless, interconnect family
is comprised of modular
components which can be
used in a variety of combi-
nations. The connectors in
this innovatively flexible
platform can be combined
to provide the density, data
throughput, and signal
integrity required for appli-
cations in today’s computer,
military, medical, or indus-
trial control industries. The
use of printed circuit wafers
in this connector system
allows for cost effective
sequencing and electrical
customization of the con-
nector. Wafers can be man-
ufactured specifically for
differential or signal ended
performance and the
impedance, propagation
delay, and crosstalk of the
connector can be altered
per customer requirements.
This scalable board to
backplane connector family
is a robust, “pinless” design
which eliminates the pin
field on backplane boards
and reduces the end user’s
exposure to field failure in
card cage systems. The
MULTIGIG RT connector
family is designed specifi-
cally for 20.30 [.800] or
25.40 [1.00] card pitch
systems.

High Speed Backplane Connectors
MULTIGIG RT Connector Products
(Continued)
Product Selection Guide
MULTIGIG RT connectors
consist of interlocking left
end and right end signal
modules (half or full), center
signal modules, and stand
alone modules available in
vertical receptacles (back-
plane application) and right
angle plugs (daughtercard
application), and comple-
mentary mechanical guide
assemblies (available in size
10.80 [.425], 9.00 [.354] or
7.20 [.283]. The guide
assembly provides blind
mating and misalignment
for the connectors. The
10.80 [.425] and 9.00 [.354]
guide assembly also
provides keying and is
available with or without
an internal contact for
electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection.
The modules are capable
of being stacked in any
configuration within the limi-
tations given in this catalog
to a maximum length of 120
between guide assemblies.
These connectors perform
at two separate density
levels: Tier 1 and Tier 2.
The connectors are placed
on the pc board by
manually-operated or
automatic machines.
The modules have 6, 8, or
10 rows of signal contacts
with 20.30 [.800], 25.40
[1.000], or 9.00 [.354]
centerline spacing (profile
size). A right angle plug
module having 7 rows with
20.30 [.800] spacing is also
available for Tier 2 only to
accommodate special
applications used by the
VMEbus International Trade
Association (VITA). The
signal contacts, along with
the ground contacts (in Tier
1 modules only) and ESD
contacts (if using the 10.80
[.425] guide assembly
with ESD contact) provide
sequencing for each
group
of modules.
When corresponding with
personnel, use the terminol-
ogy provided to facilitate
your inquiries for information.
