Hirose has launched a stackable ball grid array (BGA) mezzanine connector designed for high-speed and high-density server applications. The hermaphroditic IT14 Series features a self-mating design to eliminate the need for additional mating parts. Fewer mating parts not only reduce costs but also increases reliability and enhance performance.
The IT14 Series supports high-speed data transmission of more than 56 Gbps NRZ / 112 Gbps PAM4. An Ethernet OAM-specified connector, the IT14 Series connector utilizes a high-density design (172DPs/in2) to meet telecom and networking application requirements.
