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.

applications up to 40 GHz. The shortened male pin and fourfold slotted female center contact allow these high-quality connectors to meet the highest levels of reliability and repeatability performance. RPC-2.92 connectors are intermateable with common 2.92, 3.50, SMA, as well as K connectors. The wide product range comprises cable, PCB and panel connectors, adaptors, interchangeable port connectors, attenuators as well as test & measurement accessories. These include RPC-2.92 calibration kits, test cables, opens, shorts, loads, attenuators, airlines or sliding loads. For test & measurement applications in future 5G networks the frequency range of selected RPC-2.92 adaptors, cable assemblies and compact calibration kits has been extended up to 43.5 GHz.

SMP subminiature connectors are well-proven, offering a high level of flexibility in alignment tolerances and simplifying the whole production process. Rosenberger SMP connectors are suitable for a wide range of board-to-board and cable-to-board applications up to 40 GHz. Such a broad frequency range allows from the lowest to the highest mechanical loads to be handled including those experienced in 5G mobile telecommunications, test & measurement and aerospace applications.

The Multi-Power connector for field installation from Rosenberger is unique in terms of user-friendliness. The new assembly concept combines secure and reliable connections with a fast and simple cable assembly. Within shortest time the connector can be assembled on cables with various cross-sections (2x 2.5 mm² to 2x 16 mm²) and jacket diameters (Ø 7 – 21.5 mm). This way, the connector can be flexible used for both low-power and high-power applications (up to 55 A/60 V DC). Regardless the simple assembly process, the connector ensures highest quality for outdoor use, EMI shielding and low contact resistances.
