Pre-tinned PCB connectors
While gold over nickel plating is an excellent choice for signal transmission and is highly reliable in brass, BeCu, and stainless-steel bodies used in RF PCB Connectors, undesirable remnants of the gold plating can be found in the solder joint when the connector is soldered to the PCB. An excess amount of gold in the solder joint can create AuSn3, a gold-tin compound, making the solder joint susceptible to breakage under mechanical stress like shock and vibration.
The company can customise with a specifically engineered pre-tinned finish that eliminates gold in the solder area, optimising connectors for high-shock and high-vibration environments. Designing the connector with precise gold removal in mind can ensure that the solderable areas, including those prone to solder-wicking, are free from gold, satisfying the requirements found in J-STD-001. If gold embrittlement is an issue, contact its engineers to create a custom pre-tinned connector.
Multiports
Precision is key for high-frequency PCB applications. The company offers a range of single-port, two-port, four-port, and eight-port PCB surface mount connectors suitable for defence, aerospace, RF testing, and prototyping needs. Current interface configurations include the SMP, SMPM, and SMPS series.
If a project demands a more complex design with tight mechanical tolerances, the company can work with the client to create custom RF connectors with unique port configurations tailored to their specific requirements.
Humboldt
Humboldt, the company's online multiport assembly builder, allows users to design their own harnessed cable assembly easily using a drag-and-drop platform. The company uses an injection-moulded housing made of glass liquid crystal polymer, allowing it to offer configurations with various ports, all implementing the small form factor SMPS blind-mate interface.
With Humboldt, users can quickly configure a harness to their specifications, receive an instant quote, and print instantly generated datasheets. Shipping is available in only 15 business days. Whether a simple or complex harness is required, Humboldt is the perfect tool for designing custom RF harnesses.
Rapid Response
The company's Rapid Response builder provides a quick and convenient solution for those requiring single-port custom cable assemblies. With thousands of connector and cable combinations, the Rapid Response platform enables users to easily customise cable assemblies. The VITA 67.1/2 and VITA 67.3 contacts are now available in Rapid Response, along with custom configurations available for Ø.047 and Ø.085 cable types, with cable lengths ranging from 3" to 99".
Once an assembly is built, users can instantly access datasheets, pricing, and technical specifications. Plus, with 24/7 order placement and shipment within just ten business days, Rapid Response makes it easier to get the custom cable assembly you need.
The company is committed to delivering high-performance custom connectors and cable assemblies that satisfy the most demanding industry standards. Whether looking for pre-tinned connectors, multiport solutions, or custom cable assemblies, its expert team is ready to assist with the perfect configuration for a project.
