At IMS 2024 in Washington D.C. next week, Samtec will be introducing its newest phase and amplitude-stable Nitrowave cable assemblies. Manufactured using state-of-the-art shielding techniques and a unique interlayer, the Nitrowave coaxial cables offer industry-leading stability with flexure over time: phase vs bending = < 0.2° x F(GHz). These cables are well suited for use in aerospace, defense, datacom, computer/semiconductor, and instrumentation markets. They will be conducting live Demos in the Samtec booth and in partner booths across the show floor.
Other live demonstrations will include the newly available BE90A (rated to 90+GHz), their latest product in the popular Samtec Bulls Eye high-performance test assembly series that features a high-density space-saving design for use on smaller evaluation boards with shorter trace lengths.
Samtec’s ganged Magnum RF product, featuring industry-leading density and novel configurations, will be shown in support of millimeter-wave applications. Magnum RF is ideal for applications where space is limited and a high operating frequency is required. Designers of next-generation millimeter wave systems may also be interested in Samtec’s flexible waveguide product. This unique cable design allows flexibility and reduced size while maintaining loss performance similar to that of a traditional waveguide.
Samtec has also released a new line of RF edge launch connectors spanning DC to 67 GHz with a narrow body design that is 33% smaller than traditional edge launch connectors. Interface types include 1.85 mm, 2.40 mm, and 2.92 mm. Spanning DC to 90 GHz, Samtec’s RF connectors with alignment features (featured in several industry publications), are vertical solderless, compression mount connectors that incorporate precision alignment features. They include both threaded and push-on versions.
Product and support solutions for VITA 90 VNX+ will also be demonstrated in the Samtec booth.
As demonstrated at previous shows, Samtec will once again be displaying its flexible, micro waveguide technology. V-Band supporting 50 to 75 GHz is fully released (WF15 Series). E-Band, 60 to 90 GHz, is nearing release (WF12 Series). This unique cable design allows flexibility and reduced size while maintaining loss performance similar to that of a traditional waveguide.
Networking and Presentations
Samtec is a proud sponsor of IMS 2024 Women In Microwaves. A panel discussion, “Developing Your Personal Brand” will be held Tuesday, 18 June from 3:45-5:30 in room 144AB. Following that, a reception will be held Tuesday, June 18, from 7:30 – 9:30 pm, at the International Spy Museum in Washington DC. These events welcome all IMS attendees to promote collaboration, with a spotlight on the work of female engineers and researchers.
On Thursday, join Samtec engineer Kiana Montes for “Use An Array When A Standard PCB Connector Won’t Do,” on Thursday, June 20, from 11:15 – 11:30 am, at the MicroApps Theater in booth 2159.
