Newark/element14, a multi-channel, high-service electronics distributor in the Americas and a business of the global Premier Farnell, announced that it is stocking TE Connectivity’s new Impact backplane connector system, which offers a broad-edge coupled design utilizing low 100 Ohm impedance, localized ground return path in an optimized differential pair array. TE says the Impact connector system is suitable for high speed, backplane applications such as switches, servers/blade servers, routers and storage. Differential pairs are tightly coupled and surrounded by ground structures to isolate the pairs, which in turn reduces crosstalk and increases overall bandwidth 25 Gb/s performance with minimal performance variance. A TE Connectivity engineer is available for technical chat and the TE Connectivity line is available for same-day shipping at www.newark.com/te-connectivity.
