In RF and microwave applications, blind-mate connections can be challenging because to maintain a constant and uniform signal between circuit boards or modules, you need specially designed blind-mate connectors. Pasternack’s Steve Ellis explains how to specify coaxial blind-mate connectors. A blind-mate connector is used when access to the connection point is not possible, typically caused byRead More

RF Industries Low PIM 4.1-9.5 (Mini) DIN Adapters are between-series adapters for the 4.1-9.5 (Mini) DIN, 7-16 DIN, and N type interfaces. Advanced wireless systems such as DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) require RF components that, in addition to being highly efficient in signal transfer, must have low PIM (Passive Intermodulation) properties. The N type interface designRead More
As average sales prices for devices decrease, the cost of testing needs to decrease at the same or greater rate. The PXI platform for semiconductor ATE may be the answer. This is an excerpt from a white paper available from Geotest – Marvin Test Systems. The electronics industry is under constant pressure to lower itsRead More
Emerson Network Power Connectivity Solutions introduced the SMPM Coax Connector for high frequency applications where spacing is critical. Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson, introduced its newest addition to the Johnson line of coax connectors, an SMPM connector ideal for applications such as radar, satellite, and high-density packaging, and for those that require higherRead More
October 2013 – Because coaxial cable assemblies are so vital to such a wide range of systems, from rugged ground-based electronic systems to satellites orbiting in space, the selection process for those cables should not be treated lightly. Choosing the right coaxial cable assembly is easier when you know what to look for in a high-frequency or high-speed coaxial cable assembly.
Molex RF DIN 1.0/2.3 Modular Backplane System is a Subminiature Solution Molex announced a high-performance connector system designed specifically to enable PCB developers in the video, commercial broadcast, and telecommunications industries to transfer multiple RF signals across mated boards in a single assembly while taking into consideration space constraints. The RF DIN 1.0/2.3 Modular BackplaneRead More
