Miniature mmWave field replaceable coaxial connector family released

Hirose has extended its compact coaxial connector by releasing three mmWave field replaceable solutions. Compliant with IEC 61169-32, MIL-STD-348B and RoHS2 standards, the new mmWave connector family offers secure screw mounting and flexible cable options to simplify design and assembly.

The compact field replaceable coaxial connectors deliver a rugged design that ensures reliable and efficient performance in demanding environments. The connector family delivers superior impedance matching against temperature change in a space and weight-saving package.

Excellent for finished RF modules, measuring instrumentation, radio communication equipment and more, the new field replaceable coaxial product offering includes a 1.85mm, 2.4mm and 2.92mm version.

The HV-R-FR2 1.85mm coaxial connector supplies high-frequency transmission up to 71GHz with a return loss of only 16.5dB minimum. VSWR values include 50Ghz, 1.3 Max; 60GHz, 1.5 Max and 67Ghz, 1.8 Max.

The H2.4-R-FR2 2.4mm connector version supports up to 50GHz. The VSWR value is 50Ghz, 1.3 Max.

The HK-R-FR2 2.92mm coaxial connector supports up to 43.5GHz. The VSWR value is 43.5Ghz, 1.3 Max.

“Based on customer requests, we have developed the field replaceable miniature mmWave coaxial connector family to help simply maintenance and minimise downtime in high-frequency applications,” said Pete Lais, assistant vice president of Product Management for Hirose Electric Americas. “Designed for finished RF modules, optical and electrical transmission equipment, electronic measuring instruments, other high frequency devices, the field replaceable mmWave connector product family combines a low-profile with excellent high-frequency performance.”
