RosenbergerHSD®

Rosenberger’s new RPC-1.35* precision connector series meets the growing demand for precision, high-performance RF-connections up to 90 GHz. The range addresses the expanding market for 5G, industrial sensors in the E-Band, millimeter wave sensors for self-driving vehicles, WLAN IEEE 802.11ax and 802.11ay. RPC-1.35 connectors offer a highly robust mechanical design, minimum 3000 mating cycles, high connector repeatability, and maximum return loss values – ideal for ensuring RF measurements in the E-Band without delays. The product portfolio covers semi-rigid and flexible cable assemblies, PCB connectors, test PCBs, cable connectors, in-series and inter-series adaptors, test ports, floating and waveguide-to-coaxial adaptors as well as gauge and calibration kits. *A working group, comprising PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt), Rosenberger, Rohde & Schwarz and Spinner, designed the new 1.35 mm connector to close the gap between 1.85 mm and 1.00 mm connectors. The interface standardization is in progress.

Rosenberger RPC-2.40 connectors – high reliability and outstanding repeatability – are designed for precision test & measurement applications up to 50 GHz. With 50 Ω impedance and 2.40 mm outer conductor, they are intermateable with many other 2.40 mm series connectors such as APC-2.40, OS-50, HP-2.40 or RPC-1.85 and V connectors. A wide range of RPC-2.40 cable and PCB connectors, adaptors and interchangeable port connectors is available as well as test & measurement accessories. These include RPC-2.40 calibration kits, test cables and measurement equipment.

The Rosenberger RPC-SL series are interchangeable port connector systems for use with test equipment where test ports are frequently mated and re-mated. Under such heavy usage, Rosenberger RPC-SL interchangeable port connectors allow the equipment/device interface to be fully protected from potential damage, avoiding the risk of costly repairs. The RPC-SL port connector includes a panel mounting half and a sexless interface which features two spring-loaded butt contacts. This ensures no wear occurs during mating and eliminates the possibility of accidental damage from mismatching of connector halves. Furthermore, the interface between the panel mount and the adaptor is slotted, preventing the mating faces from rotating and possible damage. The RPC-SL portfolio offers both 26.5 GHz and 40 GHz versions. While adaptors can be interchanged and are available in different connector series, the connector heads in these two ranges are not compatible and can only be used with their own system.

Compact and lightweight, low-voltage Rosenberger LVR®120 connectors are ideal for such applications as electrical superchargers. Achieving approximately 120 A at 85 °C with a cable cross section of just 16 mm² they are certified to Vibration Severity Level 4. Furthermore, the additional slide locking mechanism (CPA – Connector Position Assurance) prevents accidental unmating.
