Multicoax Board-Mounted Connector Performs to 90 GHz

Responding to the market’s advance to mm-Wave frequencies for wireless and data rates approaching 100 Gbps for data communications, HUBER+SUHNER has developed a multicoax connector for circuit boards, enabling low reflection transitions from the cable assemblies to the PCB. Designed with the goal of achieving an electrically transparent connection, the MXPM90 provides performance up to 90 GHz and is available in configurations including single and dual rows of eight coax cables with 2.54 mm center-to-center pitch. A magnetic locking mechanism maintains repeatable and precise connections between the socket and cables, ensuring consistent signal integrity. The gold-plated brass socket and aluminum connector housing were designed to be low-cost while achieving the stringent performance requirements.
