There’s no denying that the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 are the future of manufacturing. In this article, learn how new 16G free-height stacking connectors from TE Connectivity can help you save time and money when making COM Express module upgrades to help modernize production facilities.
The new 16G 0.5 mm connectors from TE Connectivity have numerous benefits that make them ideal for modern IIOT applications. These include:
● Faster data speed – up to double that of previous generations, now featuring compatibility with PCIe Gen4 applications
● New contact design enables better signal integrity when compared to previous generation products and competitive solutions
● ~30 % improvement in mating/unmating force enables easier manual operation
● Same footprint as COM Express standard interconnect means there is typically no need to change PCB footprints when upgrading applications
● Multiple configurations enable system design flexibility
Ideal applications for these new connectors include:
● Test & measurement equipment
● Medical devices & equipment
● Aerospace & defense
● Computer equipment & peripherals
● Telecommunications equipment
● Security devices
