DUT Electronics has developed an innovative ACP connector designed for use with the 047 semi-rigid RF cables. It is an upgrade to the industry standard “pin and socket” type interconnect by replacing it with a solderless, compression fit, butt splice interconnect. This ACP connector is the first commercially available coaxial connector type that utilizes a butt splice electrical interconnect design at high frequencies. This enables it to provide disruptive speed and low loss and low compression force in PCB applications. This interconnect is similar in function to those used in Integrated Circuit (IC) socket designs. Therefore, DUT Electronics calls this component the “Interposer”.
Key Features of ACP Connectors
- Fast rise time
- High Frequency Bandwidth - more than 100 GHz
- Low Loss
- High Density - Ø9.91mm x 4.57mm footprint
- Long Cycle Life
- Low Compression Force - Protecting the board from damage during installation and allows withstanding over 100,000 mating cycles
- Fully Solderless, reusable and field replaceable PCB compression contact - Both PCB and Cable attachment do not require soldering
- Mechanical Mating bodies can be fabricated from a wide range of materials - Including polymers for weight sensitive applications
- Unique moisture sealing properties - Grease can be applied directly to the electrical interface surface and still function
