At the 2018 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2018) being held in Philadelphia in June, Intelliconnect will be showcasing its newly developed solderless 2.9 mm connectors. Featuring, what is claimed to be a unique clamping technology providing solderless attachment to 0.085"(RG405) and 0.141" cables the connector provides similar I/L and VSWR results to standard soldered connectors. No special tooling is required and the cable retention force is similar to soldered versions.
These stainless steel 2.9 mm connectors have been designed for applications where reliability, durability, robustness and high frequency performance are very important. System designers will find the main advantages of these connectors are faster assembly time, repeatability and performance and they also provide field replaceable connectivity.
Also on display at IMS 2018 will be the Pisces range of IP67 and IP68 waterproof RF connectors, including the corrosion-proof version manufactured from a nickel aluminum bronze alloy.
In addition to its wide standard connector range and custom design and manufacturing capabilities the company will be showing its cable assembly capabilities, which now include cryogenic versions for research, test and measurement and advanced IT systems.
Intelliconnect has design and manufacturing facilities in the UK and USA and is a specialist manufacturer of RF and waterproof connectors suitable for applications including civil and military telecommunications and aerospace, military equipment, measurement systems, wearable technology, medical, telecoms, satcoms, space, general microwave communications, rail traction, oil and gas and marine. The company also manufactures coaxial adaptors to facilitate inter-series connection and gender change etc. dust-caps and offers value added services.
Intelliconnect’s cable division are specialist manufacturers of affordable, high quality, high frequency microwave cables including triaxial assemblies, semi-rigid, semi-flexible and cryogenic cables as well as standard RG/LMR type products. Cables can be waterproofed to IP68 and include special features including phase matching and ruggedized assemblies for use in harsh environments.
