End Launch Connectors Feature Low VSWR

The company’s latest family of low-profile, PCB-mount end launch connectors require no soldering for mounting and are designed for single and multi-layer printed circuit boards where the microwave layer is on top. They exhibit a low VSWR and insertion loss for broadband applications in SMA (27GHz), 2.92 mm (40 GHz), or 2.4 mm (50 GHz). A unique clamping feature accommodates board thicknesses up to 0.11” and, since the connector assembly requires no soldering, the connectors are reusable and repairable.
