Connectors for military vehicle communications
Radiall
HDQX connector
Radiall has expanded its connector product offering with the compact and rugged HDQX series for high-speed Ethernet and RF data transmission in aerospace and military environments.
Offering 12 size-eight cavities in a high-density rectangular shell, the space-saving HDQX accepts ARINC 600 Quadrax and size-eight BMA contacts, as well as twinax and tri-axial contacts.
Typical applications for the HDQX connectors include data networks, in-flight entertainment systems, video control centres, and naval and military vehicle communications.
The robust design of the HDQX connector enables high-speed, high-density applications.
For example, six 1000Base-T gigabit links are possible with the HDQX by using two parallel Quadrax contacts.
In addition, the HDQX can utilise BMA contacts in RF connections at frequencies up to 18GHz.
The HDQX series also has several other features such as a centre locking device for reliable mating and easy connection, lightweight composite strain relief and the contacts are grounding to the shell for extremely low electrical resistance.
With the HDQX, environmental sealing is available with an interfacial sealing on the shell as well as sealing boots on the contacts.
