New cable and connector products feature in live show demonstrations

New RF coaxial cable, high-performance test assemblies, and ganged multi-port RF solutions are just a few of the Samtec industry-leading products in

Samtec, Inc. has announced the details of its participation in IMS 2024. The company will feature numerous live demonstrations of new and existing products specifically targeted at microwave and mmWave applications.

The company will introduce its newest phase and amplitude-stable Nitrowave cable assemblies at the show. Demos in the company booth and partner booths across the show floor will include Samtec's LL043 43.5-GHz and LL071 71-GHz microwave cables in their distinctive orange colour. Manufactured using state-of-the-art shielding techniques and a unique interlayer, these coaxial cables provide industry-leading stability with flexure over time: phase vs bending = <0.2˚ x F(GHz). These cables are ideal for aerospace, defence, datacom, computer/semiconductor, and instrumentation markets.

Another live demonstration features the newly available BE90A (rated to 90+GHz), the latest product in the Samtec Bulls Eye high-performance test assembly series. This product provides a high-density, space-saving design for use on smaller evaluation boards with shorter trace lengths.

The company's ganged Magnum RF product, featuring industry-leading density and novel configurations, will be shown in support of mmWave applications. Magnum RF is ideal for applications where space is limited and a high operating frequency is required. Designers of next-generation mmWave systems may also be interested in Samtec's flexible waveguide product. This unique cable design enables flexibility and reduced size while maintaining loss performance similar to a conventional waveguide.

The company has also released a new line of RF edge launch connectors spanning DC to 67GHz with a narrow body design 33% smaller than conventional edge launch connectors. Interface types include 1.85mm, 2.4mm, and 2.92mm. Spanning DC to 90GHz, its RF connectors with alignment features are vertical solderless compression mount connectors with precision alignment features. They include threaded and push-on versions.

Product and support solutions for VITA 90 VNX+ will also be demonstrated.

IMS 2024, booth #1531, on Tuesday, 18 June to Thursday, 20 June 2024.
