Southwest Microwave has announced the introduction of a new line of Super-Mini Board-to-Board DC to 67 GHz Connectors. These RF / millimeter wave blind-mate connectors optimize interconnect performance for board-to-board stacking applications. These connectors are based on Southwest Microwave’s coax platform, and maximize electrical performance of the transmission path between the connector and circuit while accommodating axial misalignment of up to .010” and radial misalignment of ±5° via unique bullet and PCB receptacle (jack) designs. With an array of available bullets that enable board-to-board spacing as close as 3 mm, this solution assures RF / millimeter wave transmission line dependability for tightly stacked PCBs.
Designed to optimize the matching to a circuit for surface and thru-hole PCB mounting applications, SuperMini Board-to-Board connectors are available in smooth bore or detent style Vertical and End Launch jack configurations for stripline, microstrip and grounded co-planar circuit launch transitions. Additionally, smooth bore and detent style 4-hole flange SuperMini Board-to-Board jack to 2.92 mm (K) jack adapters are available.
Southwest Microwave can also supply complete direct solder cable assemblies supporting connectors of varying frequencies to simplify high-performance, push-on test connection to SuperMini Board-to-Board Vertical and End Launch receptacles.
