Available free of charge from the Molex website, the Backplane Pin Map Configurator is designed to shorten lead times, simplify design, and increase the overall performance of backplane systems.
The Backplane Pin Map Configurator empowers users to quickly identify the best 25 Gbps Impact™ and 40 Gbps Impel™ backplane connector options for their application and allows them to tailor the pin map to their specific needs by specifying high and low speed signal, ground, and power pins.
The configurator presents several module options, based on slot pitch and overall lengths that meet the specifications. Selecting each module provides a pin map configuration, showing the recommended pin placement. Once the desired features are finalized, the complete pin map can be downloaded as a spreadsheet file that can be saved, reviewed, and shared offline, further accelerating the design process.
