How does a high-performance connector

As the demand for high-speed data transmission increases, designers are seeking ways to increase signal integrity while decreasing signal loss and crosstalk. The solution is to select a high-performance connector designed for the required frequency range. These types of connectors are optimized for compatible performance with various data transmission protocols, ranging from aerospace-standard data bus protocols like ARINC 1553 and CAN bus to networking and peripheral protocols such as 1000BASE-T Ethernet and USB 3.0.

As a result, these high-performance connectors often include shielding technology for EMI suppression, and they are designed with a narrower pitch to reduce impedance discontinuities on the transmission line. They are also optimized to maintain low insertion loss and return loss specifications.

A key feature of a high-performance connector is its ability to route power and signal lines through the same interconnect, which helps engineers save valuable space on the PCB. Samtec offers several high-speed connectors with this capability, including its popular line of Signal Integrity Connectors. These are rated for 28, 56, and 112 Gbps, and they provide high return loss and isolation with very small footprints.

How does a high-performance connector differ from a standard connector?

Another important aspect of a high-performance connector is its robust construction, which allows it to withstand harsh environmental conditions. One example of this is the MRJ Series, which is designed to withstand -40C to +125C temperatures and vibrations. This rugged interconnect is suitable for use in harsh-environment applications, such as automotive and industrial electronics.

Other examples of a high-performance connector are those that provide improved contact retention and reliability compared to standard connectors. This includes an innovative design that uses a mechanical clip for contact retention instead of plastic clips, which provides better durability and strength in demanding applications. This type of connector is ideal for harsh-environment applications and can withstand vibrations, exposure to chemicals, and extreme shock.

One of the most common examples of a high-performance connector is an RJ-45, or Category 6A, connector. These are used to transfer high-speed internet and Ethernet connections, capable of achieving up to 40Gbps. This type of connector is available in nine sizes from 4 to 60 contacts on two rows and features a 1.27mm pitch. It is available with either PCB or crimp contact terminations.

The Eaton Souriau high-performance connector line includes options that are specifically optimized for harsh environments. The company also makes a number of other rugged connectors, including the waterproof UTS and UTO series. These are ideal for connecting to 100Mbit/s Ethernet and 15ohm fibre channel. PEI-Genesis stocks these Souriau connectors, along with a selection of accessories and backshells for each model. They are sold with fast shipping and no MOQ. The company also offers full custom assembly of Eaton Souriau harsh-environment connectors for customers looking for a more complete solution. This is offered through their e-commerce store, which can be found here.
