CABLES & CONNECTORS
Connectors
A connector is a crucial component for transmitting RF signals and therefore enabling reliable connectivity. Smiths Interconnect’s innovative new product, the ‘Mini-Lock Connector,’ enables extremely high frequency operation at a signal of up to 110 GHz – one of the highest frequency components on the market currently. This leads to more reliability, faster speed and lower downtime. The new technology has been developed to integrate into crucial applications such as satellites, space flight, radars, unmanned vehicles, military and other applications that require reliable communications with low-to-no downtime. This is important because advances made in these areas will ultimately translate into ever faster and more reliable global connectivity for society.

Solderless Coaxial Sockets
Würth Elektronik expands its SMA connector family for high frequency applications to include WR-SMA PCB Solderless. The solderless approach allows quick and easy assembly without damage to the PCB. Besides simplifying the installation process, which requires no soldering equipment, the solderless SMA connectors can be reused multiple times, making them suitable for prototyping or temporary use. Because no solder is required on the signal pin, reproducible connection quality is achieved, and impedance variation due to the amount of solder paste is avoided.

TEST & MEASUREMENT
Vector Network Analyzer
The new SIGLENT SNA6000A Series vector network analyzer (VNA) simplifies complex microwave and RF measurements. The SNA6000A starts with a standard 4-port analyzer with two internal sources. The second internal source is especially useful for mixer and converter measurements. Combine that with up to 135 dB of dynamic range for precision measurements. Jumpers make it possible to extend the frequency even further. SNA6000A includes VNA, TDR, pulse, mixer and spectrum analysis up to 26.5 GHz.
