RosenbergerHSD® is a homogeneous impedance-controlled interconnect system which directly addresses the high-speed data, low-voltage requirements of real-time automotive industry applications. Extremely compact and durable this 100 Ohm fully shielded interconnect system utilizes shielded twisted quad cables and features mechanical keying and latching for high connection retention, as well as coding to avoid misuse. Furthermore, these precision manufactured RosenbergerHSD®SF variants are ideally suited for process-safe and fully automated assembly by harness makers, facilitating a significant reduction in costs. Its high data throughput performance while also preventing interference from crosstalk and external sources makes the RosenbergerHSD® cable and PCB connector system the perfect choice for LVDS cameras, USB connections and IEEE 1394 applications. In addition, it is well-suited to many other applications including those found in digital infotainment electronics and digital symmetrical networks – even radio base stations.

Rosenberger Mini-SMP connectors are extremely small coaxial connectors, approximately 70% of standard SMP size. They are designed for applications up to 65 GHz and mainly for high-speed signal transmission (typically 10 or 40 Gbps). Plugs are available as smooth bore-versions – for plug-in technology and backplane applications – and as vibration resistant full detent types, for the highest mechanical loads such as those found in aerospace engineering. Mini-SMP subminiature connectors are well-proven, offering a high level of flexibility in alignment tolerances and for simplifying the whole production process. Rosenberger Mini-SMP coaxial connectors are mateable with common Mini-SMP connectors as specified by MIL-STD-348A, Fig. 328, as well as GPPO™ (Gilbert Engineering Co., Inc.) and SSMP™ (Carlisle Interconnect Technologies) series. The PCB connectors are supplied in tape and reel packaging for automatic assembly to boards and also in blisters.

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 WSMP®PCB connectors, bullets and cable assemblies are extremely compact and capable of handling frequencies up to 100 GHz. WSMP® connectors are about 45 % smaller than standard SMP connectors for allowing high packing density. Featuring a push-on coupling mechanism and enabling a minimum board-to-board distance of 3.05 mm, they are optimized for customer-specific footprints and layout recommendations.
