The demands on connection technology performance are constantly increasing. With the
steady increase in the networking of modern devices, the number of interfaces is also growing.
The goal is to achieve data transmission that is impaired as little as possible. This depends on
the interaction of all cables and connector components.
One property of board-to-board connectors that is directly related to signal integrity is
impedance. The target impedance of a connector depends on the transmission technology of
the connector application. Deviations from the target impedance reflect the data signal back to
the transmitter. If the reflections become too high, the reflected and transmitted signals overlap.
This results in impaired data transmission.
