Hi, I’m Mike Horning a product engineer with TE Connectivity and today I’m going
to talk to you a little about the STRADA Mesa connector system.
The STRADA Mesa connector system is a new highly customizable mezzanine connector solution
from TE.
It offers the flexibility to include combinations of high-speed differential pairs, high-speed
single ended contacts along with dedicated power contacts all in a robust, elegant package.
The STRADA Mesa connector system is offered in stack heights from 8mm to 42mm in 1mm increments.
We also offer two housing widths, standard width and half width, as well as three different
housing lengths to accommodate a wide variety of contact configurations.
Our smallest connector offers 24 differential pairs whereas the largest has 120 differential
pairs
The STRADA Mesa connector system serves a wide variety of applications. These range
from blade and rack-mount servers, to Ethernet switches, broadband routers and long haul
optical transport applications. Essentially, all mezzanine applications.
A key benefit of the STRADA Mesa connector system is that the header controls the stack
height, and the receptacle stays the same for the full range of stack heights. This
offers a system designer the flexibility to test multiple board stack heights by only
changing the header half of the connector.
STRADA Mesa connector system boasts a pin-in-socket separable contact interface and a press-fit
pcb attachment, which allows for compliance in applications where more than one connector
is used on a PCB at a time.
In addition, STRADA Mesa connector system is a available as a standalone power connector,
having either 6 or 12 dedicated power contacts, each rated at 14A each
