Stewart Connector introduced a series of low-profile mid-plane RJ45 connectors. The Mid-Plane RJ45 design allows the connector to straddle the board edge, and utilize space above and below the printed circuit board, compared to traditional RJ45 connectors that are only designed to mount above the printed circuit board. The Mid-Plane connectors offer a high-speed solution for a wide array of IoT applications, including servers/switches, video game systems, and portable storage devices. They RJ45 connectors support 1 and 2.5G data rates and 100 MHz transmission frequencies. Stewart Connector
Fairview Microwave’s high-frequency VNA test cables display electrical properties such as a phase stability of +/- 6° at 50 GHz and +/- 8° at 70 GHz, as well as VSWR of 1.3:1 at 50 GHz and 1.4:1 at 70 GHz. The 50 GHz assemblies are terminated with 2.4mm connectors, while the 70 GHz versions utilize 1.85mm connectors. These test cables’ flex life exceed 1000,000 cycles and are suitable for use in semiconductor probe testing, and precise bench top testing. Their stainless steel connectors can provide up to 5,000 mating cycles. Fairview Microwave
Ironwood Electronics introduced a QFN socket addressing high-performance requirements for custom-sized devices called the CBT-QFN-7071. The contactor is a stamped spring pin with 14.5 gram actuation force per pin and a cycle life of 100,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.98 nH, with an insertion loss of less than 1 dB at 31.7 GHz and a capacitance 0.067pF. The current capacity of each contactor is 4 amps. Socket temperature range is -55C to +180C. Socket also features an IC guide pocket inside the top pin guide for precise QFN edge alignment. Ironwood Electronics
