iPass™ Connector System
Offering a full interconnect system that enables flexible speed compatibility for applications up to 14 Gbps, Molex’s iPass™ connector system is ideal for the server storage market. The iPass™ connectors and cable assemblies interconnect solution consists of both external and internal I/O configurations

External iPass products consist of an SMT host-connector design providing placement options on both sides of the PCB, as well as placement stability. The low-profile, fully integrated press-fit connector assembly with cage provides up to 32 differential pairs with one-step placement to the PCB. External cables are a flexible, low-profile high-performance assembly featuring a paddle-card design to reduce cross-talk and improve sign integrity. Die-cast EMI guide frames provide a robust cable-to-chassis interface.

Internal iPass products consist of right-angle and vertical connectors with hood kits that act as disposable pick-and-place caps. The overmolded cable assemblies provide 100 Ohm differential impedance with tight-skew control and low cross-talk.
