Isolated interconnects for rugged applications
Samtec
Isolated transmission line interconnects
Samtech has launched the Isorate range of high-performance isolated transmission line interconnects for board-level and cable-to-board applications.
The Isorate interconnects achieve mid-range RF-level performance at approximately 50 per cent of the cost, according to the company.
The transmission line jacks and plugs (IJ5 and IP5 series) are available in a 50ohm system on 4mm centreline.
The 50ohm board-to-board system provides 70dB isolation at 7.6GHz.
The strips are available in single or double row with one, two, four, six or eight rugged Edge Rate contacts per row.
Guide posts for blind mating applications are also available.
A 75ohm system (IJ7 and IP7) is currently in design.
The 50ohm Isorate cable assembly (IJ5C series) provides 60dB isolation at 3.1GHz and is available in a single-row design with high-performance 26 AWG, RG 316 coax cable.
The 4mm pitch system mates with Isorate connector strip plugs (IP5 series) and is available either a single-channel discrete wire assembly or as a ganged two-, four-, six-, or eight-pin assembly for consolidated signal applications.
A positive latching system increases unmating force making it ideal for rugged applications.
