Joy Signal's Z-Trace is a fully shielded interconnect system utilizing the latest technology and materials available.   Exceptional performance and application-specific features for cable to board and cable to backplane interface set this system apart from all others.

The Z-Trace Connector is a 1x2 socket configuration, and will interface with all industry standard .025" square or round post pin grids and headers.  The unique carrier configuration allows alternate ground/signal click-in of the terminations to provide the best cross talk characteristics in the industry.

Joy Signal's Z-Trace System is designed to provide a cost effective, impedance matched solution.  This easy-to-use system is ideal for the critical high speed applications demanded by the automatic test equipment and instrumentation markets.  Let Joy Signal's Z-Trace System solve your interconnect problems.

Features and Benefits
	Joy Signal's Z-Trace termination does not require overmolding of the strain relief.  This prevents crushing of the foam dielectrics, which can cause impedance spikes and unwanted reflections with fast risetimes.
	Individual terminations are both side to side and end to end stackable on .100" grid pin field and click-in to the carriers for easy configuration by the ATE manufacturer or the end user.
	The Z-Trace System is designed for applications with signals from DC to over 3 GHz and rise times as low as 100 picoseconds.
	Unique construction allows for flexible pin-out configurations.
	High Performance Coax Cables are in inventory in order to meet the most critical applications.
