DS90UB913Q-Q1: Connector options for 100 ohm Shielded Twisted Pair Cable.

Part Number: DS90UB913Q-Q1

The only connector option I found so far for 100 Ohm shielded twisted pair cable is from samtec

Are there any cheaper options that are available,

Can I use a standard 3 pin connector? or would my impedance be too messed up?

Thanks,

  • High Speed Connectors can be expensive. It really comes down to if you can achieve impedance continuity (check using TDR and connector's datasheet), then you can choose a cheaper connector. Please check our example connectors used in EVM Reference designs and if you choose a new one, verify that there is no impedance discontinuity using TDR  to avoid loss of Signal Integrity.
