MICTOR
electronic connector
MICTOR (Matched Impedance ConnecTOR) is a product line of vertical board to board connectors produced by TE Connectivity. They can be attached to printed circuit boards using surface-mount technology. They can be used for probing boards.
Usage
MICTOR is used in HP and Tektronix logic analyzers. Connectors can be used even for very-high frequency applications, up to 100-ps rise time.
Some of Mictor signals can be used for JTAG, e.g. in FPGA debugging variants of the connector. Along with JTAG, Mictor connectors can also carry hardware trace signals like ARM CoreSight ETM (Embedded Trace Macrocell) or PTM (Program Trace Macrocell).
Variants
The minimal variant of MICTOR consists of 38 signal positions; larger variants are designed up to 266 signals (with 38 increments). The connector is usually surface mounted.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “MICTOR” is electronic connector. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through MICTOR, electronic and connector, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “electronic connector” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6715976. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
