Backplane Connector: STRADA Whisper, 144-Way, Vertical, Male, 4.5mm Pitch
Stock Quantity: 0
The TE Connectivity 2180828-2 is a 96-position, 6-row vertical header designed for high-density backplane applications within the Strada Whisper series. Its 4.5 mm pitch and press-fit termination style offer robust mechanical integrity and reliable electrical contact, crucial for maintaining signal integrity in demanding environments. A key design consideration for such high-pin-count connectors is managing impedance mismatches and crosstalk, which the Strada Whisper series addresses through optimized dielectric properties and controlled trace routing, though careful PCB layout remains paramount to achieving optimal performance.
The component is engineered for deployment in systems requiring high reliability and performance under specific operating conditions. It provides functional stability across the stated design envelope.
