TE Connectivity 2198224-3 Compatible SFP+ 1x2 Cage Assembly Technical Overview

The TE Connectivity 2198224-3 is a 1x2 ganged SFP+ cage assembly with an integrated 9.1mm pin heat sink and conductive elastomeric EMI gasket designed for TE Connectivity 2198224-3 compatible applications in high-power 10Gb/s Ethernet and 16Gb/s Fibre Channel systems. Featuring solderless press-fit PCB mounting and a nickel silver body, it combines enhanced thermal dissipation, gapless panel ground sealing, and structural module retention for enterprise storage arrays, core switches, and telecom infrastructure.

  • Mechanical Form Factor: 1x2 Ganged Single-Row 2-Port SFP+ Cage Assembly with pre-installed 9.1mm [.358 in] pin heat sink (Lightpipe-free profile).
  • Signal Ecosystem Support: Engineered for high-power SFP+ Enhanced optical transceivers, 10GBASE-T copper RJ45 modules, and extended-reach optics up to 16 Gb/s (SFF-8431, 10GbE, and 16G Fibre Channel).
  • Board Mount Technology: Solderless Through-Hole Press-Fit termination with 2.05mm tail length, optimized for standard 1.5mm [.059 in] PCB substrates.
  • Alternative Sourcing Option: Multi-source engineering options are available to support secondary sourcing strategies, BOM cost optimization, and supply chain flexibility.

TE Connectivity 2198224-3 SFP+ Cage Assembly Product Overview

TE Connectivity 2198224-3 is a 1x2 ganged SFP+ Enhanced cage assembly featuring an integrated 9.1mm [.358 in] pin heat sink, a conductive elastomeric EMI gasket, and press-fit PCB mounting. Designed for thermal-intensive I/O interfaces in enterprise storage, core switching, and telecom equipment, this 2-port assembly provides passive thermal cooling for high-wattage transceivers, gapless panel grounding, and mechanical module retention across extended operating temperatures (-55°C to +105°C).

Key Benefits of TE Connectivity 2198224-3 SFP+ Cage Assembly

  • Enhanced Passive Thermal Dissipation: Pre-assembled 9.1mm [.358 in] pin heat sink increases surface cooling area, efficiently conducting heat away from power-intensive 10G/16G transceivers and DWDM optical modules.
  • Conductive Elastomeric EMI Gasket Shielding: Continuous elastomeric gasket provides a seamless, gap-free perimeter ground seal against chassis bezel cutouts, offering superior high-frequency EMI containment and environmental dust protection.
  • High-Density Dual-Port Integration: 1x2 ganged architecture consolidates two SFP+ Enhanced ports into a unified housing, optimizing front-panel port density.
  • Standard 1.5mm PCB Substrate Matching: Tailored for standard 1.5mm [.059 in] motherboard thickness with 2.05mm press-fit compliant tails for optimal board retention and pin normal force.
  • 16 Gb/s High-Speed Capability: Fully compatible with 10GbE, 8G/16G Fibre Channel (FC), and high-frequency CPRI wireless transport protocols.
  • Multi-Source Availability: Industry-standard mechanical design enables secondary sourcing strategies to improve supply chain flexibility, lead-time management, and BOM optimization.
