It carries 152 positions arranged as 38 per port across four ports. This is the board-side interconnect for a 4-port QSFP+ module cage — the part that mounts to the PCB and receives the pluggable transceiver modules. The integrated light pipe routes the module's link-status LEDs to the faceplate, and the cage provides the EMI shielding required to keep the system within radiated-emission limits for 25 Gbps per-lane signaling. Press-fit means the compliant pin tail is pressed into a plated through-hole — no solder, no reflow profile, no flux residue. The through-hole, right-angle mounting requires the PCB to have the correct hole diameter and finished-plating thickness for the press-fit zone, typically specified in the TE application drawing. The 152-position footprint is dense: four rows of 38 contacts per port, with the cage ground pins surrounding the signal array. The light pipe adds a secondary alignment feature on the faceplate side; the board keep-out zone must account for the pipe's exit path. ## QSFP28 and 100G Compatibility The 2214574-3 is a QSFP+ receptacle, which uses the same mechanical interface as QSFP28 and QSFP-DD modules. The cage and connector body are form-factor compatible with QSFP28 transceivers rated for 100G (4x25 Gbps) and QSFP+ modules rated for 40G (4x10 Gbps). The electrical performance of the receptacle itself — contact resistance, return loss, and crosstalk — must be verified against the module's link budget, but the mechanical fit is standard across the QSFP family. The press-fit termination and cage shielding are identical for both data rates; the limiting factor is the PCB trace design, not the connector. Active lifecycle — no end-of-life notification or last-time-buy window. Tray packaging is standard for this cage assembly.","metaTitle":"TE 2214574-3 QSFP+ Receptacle, 152 Pos, Press-Fit, Active","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2214574-3 QSFP+ receptacle with cage, ganged 1x4, 152 (38x4) positions, press-fit termination, through-hole right-angle mount, EMI shielded","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pluggable Terminal Blocks"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Series":"-","Package":"Tray","Features":"EMI Shielded, Light Pipe","Termination":"Press-Fit","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"QSFP+","Contact Finish":"-","Product Status":"Active","Connector Style":"Receptacle with Cage, Ganged (1x4)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Base Product Number":"2214574","Number of Positions":"152 (38 x 4)","Contact Finish Thickness":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$66.4500","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/2214574-3/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 2214574-3 compatible with QSFP28 modules?","answer":"Yes, the 2214574-3 uses the standard QSFP mechanical interface, so QSFP28 modules rated for 100G (4x25 Gbps) will mate with this receptacle. The cage and connector body are the same form factor as QSFP28 cage assemblies. Verify the PCB trace design supports the higher data rate, but the connector itself is mechanically compatible."},{"question":"Does 2214574-3 require special tooling for press-fit installation?","answer":"Press-fit termination requires an arbor press or pneumatic press with the correct insertion tooling — typically a TE application-specific anvil and backup tool that matches the cage footprint. The compliant pins are designed for a controlled insertion force; the tooling ensures the pins are seated to the correct depth without damaging the cage or the PCB plated through-holes."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2214574-3","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2214574-3 when reusing this data.
