Molex’s Impact Din41612 connector? Orthogonal Direct connectors are designed to connect vertical to horizontal add-in cardson the mating side, without the need for a midplane. The Impact broad-edge-coupled transmission technology enables low cross-talk and high-signal bandwidth while minimizing channel-performance variation across every differential pair within the system. Impact orthogonal direct connectors leverage the field-proven Impact mating interface ( hxtf3dte lowest mating force in the industry) and compliant-pin technologies, providing customers ultimate flexibility to optimize their designs for superior mechanical and electrical performance.
