GLOSSARY
PIGGY BACK GROMMET : The piggy back grommet is an additional device for contact size 8 which provide sealing on the wire and also guiding of the contact in the connector.
DATA RATE : Data rate is the number of “bits” of data transferred per a given unit of time.
BANDWIDTH : Is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a continuous set of frequencies.
DURABILITY : Is the number of mating cycle admissible by the contacts.
RF LEAKAGE : Is defined as the amount of energy which "leaks" from the connector and/or component. Although RF Leakage will vary with frequency, it is typically tested at only one frequency. Leakage, like Insertion Loss, is expressed in dB. Very large negative dB values indicate that the device does not radiate much energy. DIFFERENTIAL PAIR : Differential signaling is a method of transmitting information electrically with two complementary signals sent on two paired wires, called a differential pair.
