Sabritec in Irvine, Calif., announced high-frequency, micro-d coax connectors (MDHC) with low VSWR as fast as 40 gigahertz. The devices have a constant 50-ohm airline impedance interface and are 30 percent smaller than their SCX coaxial connectors, Sabritec officials say. The MDHC contacts are compact in size, allowing multiple high-density connections in a Micro-D style shell for applications where space and weight savings are critical. These contacts have a maximum overall diameter of 0.133 inches fitted into a low-profile metalized housing. MDHC coaxial contacts are a drop-in replacement to Sabritec’s MDCX RF contacts with an increased frequency range from 10 to 40 gigahertz. MDHC Connectors are also available with locking post mechanisms or blind-mate hardware attachment. Insert arrangements are available in 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-way coax assemblies, as well as mixed signal, power, coax, and high-speed twinax for hybrid arrangements.
