Hirose Electric released new board-to-board connector

Posted 29 March 2023

Hirose Electric has released the IT14 Series, a board-to-board connector supporting up to 112Gbps PAM4. IT14 is the licensed second source for “Mirror Mezz”, which was developed by connector manufacturer Molex in 2018 for applications such as servers, data communications, and telecommunications equipment.

The IT14 Series has been released mainly to provide a stable supply of components required in the telecommunications equipment market. Molex’s Mirror Mezz is used as the board-to-board connector on the Open Compute Project (OCP) Accelerator Module (OAM, OCP Accelerator Module) and in chipset connection for ASICs and GPUs from semiconductor manufacturers. Further demand is expected in the future, and a stable supply of the Mirror Mezz connector is essential. To meet these needs, Hirose has released the IT14 Series as the licensed second source product of Molex’s Mirror Mezz. The IT14 Series supports up to 112Gbps PAM4 / 56Gbps NRZ high speed transmission.

In addition, the protective housing encapsulates the contact tips for each pin arrangement, prevents warping during mating and allows blind mating.
