188834-1

The TE Connectivity 188834-1 is a hard metric standard backplane connector header designed for high-density interconnection. It features 154 total positions, comprising 110 signal contacts and 44 ground contacts arranged in a 5+2 row configuration. The connector uses a 2.00mm pitch and is terminated via press-fit into a through hole plated board. Contacts are finished with 30µin gold for reliable signal integrity. The connector is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited). This header is suitable for backplane applications requiring robust mechanical retention and high-speed data transmission. The through-hole mounting provides secure attachment, and the press-fit termination eliminates the need for soldering, reducing assembly time and improving reliability. Typical applications include telecommunications, data centers, and industrial computing systems where high pin count and signal density are required.
