VOOHU WH491U019D0S00 replaces TE (Tyco) 1888617-1: QSFP+ 1×1 through-panel shielding cage (Cage) selection comparison

1. Introduction to friendly products (TE Connectivity)

TE Connectivity (formerly Tyco Electronics) is a leading global manufacturer of connectors and sensors. Its 1888617-1 is "QSFP Thru-Bezel shielding cage assembly" (Cage Assembly, Thru Bezel, QSFP). The cage is made of 0.25mm thick Nickel Silver; the EMI spring is made of copper alloy (0.8µm minimum tin plating on the surface, 0.8µm minimum nickel); it is connected to the QSFP MSA compatible module; the minimum PCB board thickness: 1.45mm on one side, 2.2mm on both sides; using Sn42Bi58 solder (6 ) with crimp pins and positioning guide post terminations; Product Specification 108-2286, Application Specification 114-13217.

2. Introduction to VOOHU alternative products (Suzhou VOOHU Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.)

Suzhou voohu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.'s WH491U019D0S00 is "QSFP+ 1×1 through-panel shielding cage", which is standardized to TE 1888617-1. It adopts a metal shielding cage with a wall thickness of 0.25mm; connects with QSFP MSA compatible modules, refer to SFF-8663; the minimum PCB board thickness is 1.45mm on one side and 2.25mm on both sides (back to back); installed through the panel, equipped with positioning guide posts, crimping pins (aperture ∅1.05) and welding fixing feet; complies with REACH and RoHS (2011/65/EU). The cage shell alloy, shrapnel surface treatment and fixed foot solder can be customized according to customer requirements, subject to countersigning drawings.

3. Comparison of core parameters

The following table is based on the parameters listed in the TE 1888617-1 (baseline) data sheet, and corresponds to the specifications of VOOHU WH491U019D0S00 (only parameters that are clearly marked by both parties and can correspond one to one are listed).

Note:

  1. Cage shell material: TE customer drawing indicates 0.25mm Nickel Silver; VOOHU is 0.25mm metal shielding cage shell. The specific alloy and surface treatment can be customized according to customer requirements, and the countersigned drawing shall prevail.
  2. Minimum PCB board thickness (double-sided): TE standard 2.2mm, VOOHU standard 2.25mm (back-to-back), the difference is 0.05mm, which is within the butt installation tolerance range.
  3. EMI shrapnel: TE is a copper alloy, with a surface of 0.8µm (minimum) tin plating and 0.8µm (minimum) nickel; VOOHU shrapnel has been cleaned and sealed, and the material and surface treatment can be customized.
  4. Termination and solder: TE uses Sn42Bi58 solder (6 places) with crimped pins; VOOHU uses crimped (∅1.05) with soldered fixed feet, and the solder grade is subject to countersign.
  5. Environmental protection: VOOHU complies with REACH and RoHS (2011/65/EU); TE customer drawings are not marked on the drawing.
  6. Please refer to the final drawings signed by both parties for pin definitions, guide pillar positions and panel openings.

4. Applicable scenarios

  1. Data center 40G/100G QSFP+/QSFP28 high-speed switch and router ports
  2. High-density optical interconnect for servers, AI/HPC clusters
  3. Telecom OTN/DWDM transmission equipment line card
  4. Optical module and active optical cable (AOC) host side cage

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are the panel openings and footprints of WH491U019D0S00 and TE 1888617-1 compatible?

Both are QSFP 1×1 through-panel cages. The cage wall thickness is 0.25mm, and the single/double-sided minimum PCB board thickness is consistent with the standard of 1.45/2.25mm. It is recommended to check the panel openings, guide posts and crimping holes 1:1 with the countersigned drawings.

Q2: What QSFP rates are supported?

The mechanical structure complies with QSFP MSA (SFF-8663) and is compatible with QSFP+/QSFP28 and other MSA modules; the specific speed depends on the supporting optical module and PCB design.

Q3: Can heat sinks or guide structures be installed?

The configuration of heat sinks, EMI springs and guide pillars can be customized as required; please provide application requirements for matching solutions.

Q4: Can the material and welding method be customized?

Can. The cage shell alloy, surface treatment of the shrapnel and the solder grade of the fixed feet can be customized according to the customer's requirements, subject to the countersigned drawing.
