TE Connectivity is pleased to introduce a new product family of connectors calledSTRADA which means "road or path" and is part of our commitment to develop customer focused next generation interconnect solutions for the future.
TE's STRADA Mesa Connector system is the latest advancement for Mezzanine (Stacking) applications. It has a pin and socket signal contact design that can be arranged in either a high speed differential, high density single-ended, and/or coax patterns. In addition, the STRADA Mesa connector offers integrated Power Contacts, each capable of carrying 14 AMPS of current.
The STRADA Mesa system is being offered in stack height options starting at 8 mm and growing to 42 mm. This connector system is offered in standard-width, which has 8 differential pairs per column, and halfwidth, which has 4 differential pairs per column. Standard-width, 8 pairs per column, is offered in sizes 1, 2, and 3, which when fully loaded with differential pairs, will yield 40, 80, and 120 pairs, respectively. Half-width, 4 pairs per column, is also offered in sizes 1, 2, and 3 which, when fully loaded with differential pairs, will yield 24, 48, and 88 pairs, respectively.
