Ganged RF
Ganged RF System Connects High Bandwidth RF
Signals In Blind-Mate Daughtercard Receptacles
and Backplane Headers
74642, 74712
Right Angle Receptacle and
Vertical Header
The Ganged RF system offers customers innovative
packaging with selectively loaded housings for
connecting up to 2.5GHz single-ended or analog RF
signals. The blind-mate right-angle daughtercard
receptacles and vertical backplane headers are
available in three- and four-port sizes with selective
loading of high-performance vertical signal pairs. The
press-fit terminals allow simple termination to the PCB
with optional application tooling available from Molex.
Options for cabling in both sizes are also available in
several standard lengths to connect with the right-angle
daughtercard receptacles.
Features and Benefits
50 Ohm ±10% matched impedance contact system
for low insertion loss and optimal signal integrity
60 db min. isolation to minimize crosstalk
Press-fit termination and locator pegs promote easy
and reliable board termination
Modular assembly of vertical signal pairs allow
custom loading
High-temperature 94V-0 housings with generous
chamfers and blind-mating lead-ins for reliable and
consistent mating
Contacts with 0.76µm (30µ”) min. gold plating on
mating surfaces for excellent reliability
