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 new SC-module can also be used for single module applications when mounting in the Han-Modular Compact series of hoods and housings.
Each connector can terminate up to four 50/125 or 62.5/125um optical fibres.
The connectors simply snap in to the module, making assembly and disassembly very straightforward without the need for special tools.
The female contacts are equipped with centring ferrules, four of which are included as standard with each module.
The module will accommodate SC connectors from different manufacturers, allowing a choice of well-established termination techniques - including 3M and hot-melt - to be used.
The ease of termination, coupled with the fact that the connectors are of the same type used in IP20 patch panels, makes the module ideally suited to situations where field assembly is required.
