Mini coaxial connector offers 4GHz performance
The new Mini Coax+ from Harting is a miniature coaxial multi-pole connector designed to provide high-integrity signal transmission between backplanes and daughter boards at frequencies up to 4GHz.
The Harax technique eliminates soldering or screw terminations, allowing cables and connectors to be assembled in a fraction of the time required for conventional methods.
The resulting savings in time and labour costs are particularly relevant to shielded cable installations, where the addition of a shielded braid which must provide total integrity places additional demands on the installation process.
With the Harax rapid termination technology, the individual strands in a cable are inserted into a splicing ring and cut to length.
The shield is attached to the metal housing via a sliding ring, avoiding time-intensive working steps.
The individual strands are then terminated securely using insulation displacement technology with the aid of a union nut.
Installation time is typically reduced to a third of that formerly required.
In addition, the robust housing of the M12-L connector will absorb any forces and torque that may arise.
The new connector is rated at up to 32V and 4A, and is designed for use with conductor sizes from AWG24 to AWG22.
