Connector addresses multiport testing between DC to 18GHz
The MXP series of multicoax interconnection products, from HUBER+SUHNER, has been expanded with the addition of the MXP18 connector. The connector series is designed for the high speed digital testing market with the MXP18, having been introduced to meet the need for multiport testing interconnectivity between DC to 18GHz.
According to HUBER+SUHNER, the majority of semiconductor manufacturers remain focussed on developing devices in the range 6 and 12Gbps and the MXP18 multicoax solution is designed to meet the testing requirements of this sector. It is available as a 1x8 ganged version which breaks out to female SMA connectors.
The MXP18 multicoax connector provides outstanding electrical and mechanical performance and is designed to save valuable board space while keeping the distance between the connector and the device under test to an absolute minimum. As the MXP18 is fully mechanically compatible with the MXP40 (40Gbps) multicoax solution, users can stay with the MXP format as their testing requirements change.
