HFM® - High-Speed FAKRA-Mini

Rosenberger provides a wide range of Multiport Mini-Coax connectors and cable assemblies for addressing the challenging technological demands of the semiconductor test equipment industry. For both 20 and 40 GHz applications, the extensive standard range comprises PCB connectors, purpose-designed plastic-housings and pre-assembled cable assembly sets. This ensures cable assembly configurations that precisely meet customer-specific test requirements. Board-to-board connections can be applied in very limited spaces with the advantages of coaxial shielding while a handy extraction tool ensures mating and demating can be done quickly and easily onsite. The cost-effective injection moulded housings for connection to one side of the PCB are available with 2, 4, 6 or 8 channels and allow the mixing of straight and right angle Mini-Coax cable pairs. Interface dimensions are based on Rosenberger standard Mini-Coax connectors.

Rosenberger SLC (Spring Loaded Contacts) are suited to customized designs and frequencies up to 6 GHz. The product portfolio ensures impedance controlled SLC for transmission of RF signals across a diverse range of customized products and applications, such as backplane designs and those requiring a high degree of tolerance compensation between mating partners. Rosenberger SLC connectors and assemblies are therefore a perfect fit for specialized board-to-board applications, hybrid SLC solutions – with a combination of DC, RF signal transmission, power supply and fiber optical lines – as well as SLC cable connectors, board and panel mounted products.

3M™ Expanded Beam Optical (EBO) Latch Connector for PreCONNECT® solutions The best of both worlds: Singlemode and expanded beam connectors Reliable connectors that can be repeatedly plugged in and unplugged while still maintaining constant performance over all fibers – that is what 3M™ EBO has to offer. The innovative yet extremely simple structure of this expanded beam plug connector permits repeated plugging and unplugging with no loss of performance and no need to clean the end faces. What is more, it is all but insensitive to vibrations and dust. Because the end faces of the fibers do not physically touch one another, the risk of chipping, scratches and damage is eliminated, while simultaneously guaranteeing outstanding IL and RL performance. In contrast to earlier expanded beam methods, the 3M™ EBO Expanded Beam Latch connector uses a new mirror reflex collimation lens in order to expand the light path and overcome the effect of surface particles on the IL and RL performance. Tiny deviations in the fiber alignment in plug connections (lateral offset) are all but eliminated. This new technology, which has been patented by 3M™, not only permits multimode applications but also makes it possible to use the expanded beam for singlemode applications – something that was not possible in the past, in particular in the case of multiple fibers.
