High speed millimetre-wave connectors launched
Supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, Fairview Microwave has released a new line of high speed end launch connectors. They are suitable for signal integrity measurements, chip evaluations, coplanar waveguide, 25GbE, SERDES, substrate characterisation and test fixture applications.
Fairview’s new line of high speed end launch connectors is comprised of four models that provide VSWR as low as 1.10:1 and a maximum operating frequency of 40-110GHz, depending on the model. These connectors are reusable, don’t require any soldering and have a compact profile with a 0.350" mounting width and a 0.005" launch pin.
They feature an outer conductor made of stainless steel and a gold-plated beryllium copper center contact. These end launch connectors are well suited for high speed digital and mmWave system development.
“Our new family of end launch connectors delivers amazing VSWR performance with a reduced mounting profile, allowing our customers to fit even more connections in the same PCB area,” said Dan Birch, Product Manager at Fairview Microwave.
