Pulse Electronic's ICMs ready for 10G applications

Pulse Electronics recently debuted its latest 10GBASE-T press-fit integrated connector module (ICM) product family. These 10 gigabit press-fit RJ45 ICMs meet IEEE 802.3 specifications and are available in common industry configurations of 2x2, 2x4, 2x6 and 2x8.

The company's ICMs facilitate the implementation of 10GBASE-T in large enterprises and cloud data centres. The products are qualified at leading 10GBASE-T PHY vendors, which enables system designers to eliminate extensive qualifications and accelerates time-to-market for their products.

Using a press-fit pin provides a pressure contact with the printed circuit board, eliminating the need for wave soldering. Detailed process specifications are available to assist customers with the insertion and extraction of these press-fit pin ICMs.

The 10 gigabit press-fit ICMs are packaged in trays. High volume discounts are available. Information and datasheets on Pulse Electronics' 10GBASE-T press-fit ICMs can be found here.
