TE Connectivity High Speed 1.8 mm Pitch Vertical Female Backplane Connector 16 Column 9 Row 144 Way 2102736-1

TE Connectivity 2102736-1 is a high speed backplane connector designed for robust and reliable board-to-board connections in advanced electronic systems. Featuring a vertical female orientation with 144 contacts arranged across 16 columns and 9 rows, this connector facilitates high-density signal transmission.

The housing is engineered from liquid crystal polymer, offering resistance to mechanical stress and elevated temperatures up to 125°C. Contact material of phosphor bronze combined with gold-plated and tin plating ensures superior electrical performance and corrosion resistance. With a current rating of 1.5A, it supports demanding high-speed serial protocols including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, PCIe, and Serial RapidIO.

This connector uses a modular ruggedized 'pinless' interface with quad-redundant contacts that increase resilience to shock and vibration, making it suitable for aerospace, defense, and commercial military applications such as missile defense and electronic C4ISR systems.

Mount type is board solder termination, facilitating secure connections on PCBs. Its compact 1.8 mm pitch allows integration into space-constrained designs requiring high-speed data transfer and signal integrity.
