Latching USB 2.0 Cable Assemblies

MilesTek’s latching USB 2.0 cable assemblies are ideal for military/aerospace applications where vibration is an issue, because unlike standard USB connectors, which rely on a friction fit, the latching USB Type-A connectors on these assemblies provide lock-down mating retention with any USB Type-A jack. Additionally, these cables feature low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) cable jackets. LSZH reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gases emitted during combustion.

TWT Amplifier

The Model 477Ka provides 700 W peak power at duty cycles up to 8 percent from 33 to 36 GHz. Particular emphasis has been placed on the generation of the output RF pulse shape. The RF output pulse width tracks the input 5 V video pulse. Internal power supplies are DC-DC converter designs operating at 50 kHz with fast loop response times so that output level variations are minimal for any PRF including a non-periodic or burst type PRF.
