TE Connectivity 2198235-3 Compatible SFP+ 1x6 Cage Assembly Technical Overview
The TE Connectivity 2198235-3 is a 1x6 ganged SFP+ 6-port cage assembly with an integrated 9.1mm pin heat sink designed for TE Connectivity 2198235-3 compatible applications in high-power 10Gb/s Ethernet and 16Gb/s Fibre Channel platforms. Featuring solderless press-fit PCB mounting, a nickel silver housing, and external metallic EMI spring shielding, it provides dense 6-port I/O consolidation, enhanced passive heat dissipation, and resilient chassis grounding for enterprise storage directors, core switches, and telecom infrastructure.
- Mechanical Form Factor: 1x6 Ganged Single-Row 6-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 transceivers, extended-reach optical modules, and 16G Fibre Channel optics operating up to 16 Gb/s (SFF-8431).
- Board Mount Technology: Solderless Through-Hole Press-Fit termination with 2.05mm tail length, optimized for thick 2.25mm [.089 in] enterprise PCB substrates.
- Alternative Sourcing Option: Multi-source engineering options are available to support secondary sourcing strategies, BOM cost optimization, and supply chain flexibility.
