TR90™ Multicoax Connector

Description

The TR90 Multicoax connector facilitates high-speed analog or digital signal transmission, catering to 112G and 224G PAM4 base technologies with its true 90 GHz performance. Its compression mount interface design drives lower testing costs by eliminating costly solder down components, promoting reuse across programs. Ideal for cutting-edge system designers, it offers exceptional signal integrity through its newly designed interface and PCB footprint. Compared to traditional solder down coaxial connectors, TR Multicoax occupies 80% less space on PCBs and can be easily repositioned without surface mount components, enhancing its reusability.
