TE Connectivity Sliver Internal Cabled Interconnect Solution
TE Connectivity's (TE) Sliver Internal Cabled Interconnect Solution is designed to be a flexible solution for making internal I/O connections on the board, up to 25Gbps. TE Sliver connectors serve many applications, data rates, and protocols (PCI Express, SAS, and Ethernet). With a 0.6mm contact pitch, Sliver connectors are super slim, allowing designers to fit more inside the box. The series includes a highly robust metal housing design on the connector cage. An active latch on the housing provides additional connection security. These connectors reach up to 25Gbps speed with the use of TE high-speed cable.
The Sliver internal I/O plug kits are available in 50pin, 74pin, and 124pin variants with a retention force of 35N (minimum). Each of these variants are built with polycarbonate contact housing and stainless steel active latches. The 50pin plug kit features 29N (maximum) mating force and is designed to accommodate 33AWG cables. The 74pin plug kit features 38N (maximum) mating force and is designed to accommodate 33AWG cables. The 124pin plug kit features 57N (maximum) mating force and is designed to accommodate 30 and 33AWG cables.
