In this interview with RFMW’s Tobias Hambach at IMS2026, Dave Raymond provides an overview of Smiths Interconnect, a Molex Company’s broad portfolio, including RF attenuators, resistors, thermal management products, filters, ferrites, cable assemblies, and fiber optic solutions. Dave explains how Smiths Interconnect collaborates with RFMW to provide engineers with rapid access to stocked components while developing new products for emerging market needs.
The highlight of the conversation is a live demonstration of the new K2TVA temperature variable attenuator. See how the device maintains predictable attenuation across temperature extremes and high frequencies, making it an ideal passive solution for demanding applications such as space and other high-reliability systems where thermal stability is critical.
Watch the demo to learn:
• The latest RF and fiber optic technologies from Smiths Interconnect
• How the K2TVA temperature variable attenuator performs across changing temperatures
• Why passive temperature compensation is becoming increasingly important in advanced RF system designs
• How RFMW helps engineers accelerate development with local inventory and technical support
