73387-0020 Datasheet, PDF (1/2 Pages) Molex Electronics Ltd. – Precision Test Connectors 2.4mm Compression-Mount

Providing the high-speed digital testing industry’s only vertical PCB launch
configuration, Molex’s innovative Precision 2.4mm Compression-Mount Test
Connectors optimize design flexibility and reduce installation time while
achieving 50 GHz analog performance or over 20 Gbps digital signals
Realize improved testing capability with Molex’s Precision 2.4mm Compression-
Mount Test Connectors. Designed with a vertical launch configuration and a unique
compression-mount design, customers can create test points virtually anywhere
on the PCB, enabling unparalleled design flexibility. The Precision 2.4mm
Compression-Mount Test Connectors mate to 2.4mm male (plug) connectors,
available on the customer’s test equipment cable end. The Precision 2.4mm
Compression-Mount Test Connectors are an extension of the Precision Optimized
SMA Test Connectors (Series 73251).
