Product details
The 2003161103 from Molex delivers breakthrough performance in Rectangular Connectors - Free Hanging, Panel Mount for high-reliability computing applications. This precision-engineered interconnect solution is optimized for server backplanes, storage arrays, and network switches, offering exceptional signal integrity at data rates up to 56Gbps.As a Header solution, it features a unique mezzanine design for vertical stacking of PCBs. The guided mating system ensures accurate alignment in high-density configurations with less than 0.2mm positional tolerance.The Male Pin, Power design incorporates dual-beam geometry with independent contact points. This redundant configuration provides 60% better contact reliability than single-beam designs in vibration tests.Configurable up to 8 contacts, the connector supports various lane configurations for PCIe, SAS, and Ethernet protocols. The numbered keying system prevents incorrect card insertion.The 0.138" (3.50mm) fine-pitch arrangement enables 56G PAM4 signaling with less than -25dB worst-case crosstalk. The ground-signal-ground contact pattern provides optimal return path continuity.The 2 row staggered configuration reduces parallel resonance effects. This layout minimizes impedance discontinuities at high frequencies while maintaining mechanical stability.The Free Hanging (In-Line) version includes solder-tail options for both through-hole and surface-mount applications. The precision-molded alignment posts facilitate automated PCB assembly.The Locking Ramp mechanism provides both temporary and permanent retention options. The tool-less latch design enables quick card replacement during hot-swap operations.The Tin plating combines low-friction surfaces with high wear resistance. The selective plating process applies different thicknesses to mating and termination areas.The Black housing material incorporates laser-markable surfaces for permanent identification. The low-dielectric polymer maintains stable electrical properties across temperature variations.
