Pasternack introduces spring-loaded adapters

These adapters are available in various lengths, offering enhanced performance and connectivity solutions tailored to different applications.

The adapters feature a low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), which minimises signal reflection and optimises the efficiency of RF systems. Their availability in a range of lengths provides flexibility for diverse applications and design requirements. Operating across a broad frequency range from DC to 65 GHz, these adapters are well-suited for high-frequency applications. Additionally, their performance is guaranteed under compression, ensuring stable connections even under pressure.

The new adapters are designed to eliminate gaps between the adapter and the receptacle, thereby optimising RF performance and accommodating tolerance variations in PCBs. This gap-free design ensures a stable and reliable connection, delivering superior RF performance with optimal signal integrity and efficiency.

“These spring-loaded adapters meet the high demands of modern RF applications, providing reliable and efficient solutions for our customers,” said Amar Ganwani, Senior Product Line Manager, Pasternack. “The combination of low VSWR, wide frequency range and guaranteed performance under compression makes them an essential addition to any RF engineer’s toolkit.”
