Edge Lock RF PCB Connectors

Picture for category Edge Lock RF PCB Connectors

SV Microwave’s new Edge-Lock PCB connector series is developed to form an interference fit between the conical alignment pin and the PCB thru-hole, thus pulling the contact lane of the connector in to the edge of the PCB. The result is a fixture-less connector that is primed for reflow without any unnecessary custom fixtures to hold the connector in place. The secure fit between the connector and the PCB edge ensures optimal RF performance throughout the connector’s full frequency range.

Features / Benefits: 

  • High frequency RF performance up to 40 GHz (2.92mm version)
  • Edge-Lock design allows for precision placement prior to reflow process
  • No need for custom, expensive reflow oven fixtures
  • Connector clamps securely to PCB edge, can be modified to fit most PCB thicknesses

Applications:

  • High speed/frequency component test
  • Product evaluation boards
  • Mil-Aero radar and communication systems
  • Satellite communication systems
