SCOPE

1.1.

Content

This specification covers performance, tests and quality requirements for the TE Connectivity (TE)

MULTIGIG RT* Signal connector system which uses a modular concept and interconnects two printed

circuit boards. Both receptacle and plug connectors are connected to the printed circuit boards with

plated thru-hole compliant press-fit leads. The connector system is designed to perform at two different

signal transmission performance levels which are identified by the “Tier” designator. Although signal

transmission performance levels vary between the “Tiers” of product, the mechanical and

environmental requirements contained in this specification apply to all.

1.2.
