Ganged RF System from Molex Delivers Dependable Connection for High Bandwidth RF Signals


Get reliable connections for high bandwidth (2.5 GHz) single-ended or analog RF signals in blind-mate daughtercard receptacles and backplane headers with the ganged RF interconnect system from Molex Incorporated. These ganged RF connectors and cable assemblies are ideal for applications where high bandwidth analog and blind-mating of critical high-speed circuits are required. Applications include telecommunications, cellular base stations, wireless networking, coaxial connections for daughtercard to backplane, and others.

These connectors feature a 50 Ohm (± 10%) matched impedance contact system for low insertion loss and optimal signal integrity. Press-fit termination and locator pegs promote easy and reliable board termination. Modular assembly of vertical signal pairs enables custom loading.

Molex's ganged RF system's blind-mate right-angle daughtercard receptacles and vertical backplane headers are available in six and eight position and feature innovative packaging and selective loading of high performance vertical signal pairs. Options for cabling in six and eight positions are also available in several standard lengths to connect with the right-angle daughtercard receptacles.

Pricing for Molex's ganged RF System depends on quantity, circuit size and style. For example, when purchased in quantities of 1,000, the six-position, right-angle daughter card connector with two positions loaded would cost $5.00 each. Lead time is typically six to eight weeks.
