Why did you pick Rosenberger’s SMPX Interconnects as the featured product for the month?
The rise in mmWave, 5G, and 224 Gbps/lane PAM4 calls for a new type of interconnect to ensure consistent and accurate connections. Rosenberger’s new SMPX interconnects are a key component to accelerate the development of 224G system architectures and enabling future technologies.
This interconnect solution is the first we’ve seen to combine all of the following features into one high-performance sub-miniature push-on solution. Not to mention it was all designed with cost in mind, making it equally attractive to design engineering and program/procurement teams.
What are the key features/specifications of the SMPX Interconnects?
- High frequency up to 110 GHz.
- Solderless compression mounting to PCB.
- Over 10k mate cycles.
- 54 mm pitch on this multiport solution, with over 24 standard configurations available. Customization available as needed.
- Default electrical skew will have all channels pair matched within 1 peco second. Tighter phase matching available as needed.
- Field replaceable. Swap out any individual channel as needed instead of replacing an entire ganged cable assembly.
What are common markets/applications?
SMPS connector applications include, but are not limited to:
- Semiconductor Development
- ATE Testing
- Data Center Testing
- Probe Card Interface
- Defense Applications
