SMT F-Connector Boosts Signal Integrity

The unique design of the CBJE130 edge-mount circuit board F-connector features a center pin in-line with the plane of the board that yields what's claimed as superior signal integrity. This side launch design approach also features a much lower profile than standard right-angle jacks for reduced board space requirements. The connector is designed for applications such as broadcast and cable-box products and is part of a new high-frequency PCB coax connector series. Samples are available. Pricing is $2.14 each/1,000,000. TROMPETER ELECTRONICS, Westlake Village, CA. (800) 982-2629.
