MULTIGIG RT Connector Products (Continued)
MULTIGIG RT connectors
consist of interlocking left
end and right end signal
modules (half or full), center
signal modules, and stand
alone modules available in
vertical receptacles (back-
plane application) and right

application), and comple-
mentary mechanical guide
assemblies (available in size
10.80 [.425], 9.00 [.354] or
7.20 [.283]. The guide
assembly provides blind
mating and misalignment
for the connectors. The
10.80 [.425] and 9.00 [.354]

The modules are capable
of being stacked in any
configuration within the limi-
tations given in this catalog
to a maximum length of 120
between guide assemblies.
These connectors perform
at two separate density
levels: Tier 1 and Tier 2.
The connectors are placed
on the pc board by
applications used by the
VMEbus International Trade
Association (VITA). The
signal contacts, along with
the ground contacts (in Tier
1 modules only) and ESD
contacts (if using the 10.80
[.425] guide assembly
with ESD contact) provide
sequencing for each group
of modules.
