TE Connectivity NanoRF Edge Launch Connectors

TE Connectivity’s (TE) NanoRF Edge Launch Connectors offer higher density and ruggedness over SMPM and SMPS edge launch options while integrating the RF above an optical interconnect (with TE hybrid RF / optical modules). The NanoRF series is robust, space-saving, and versatile. The contact and module design is configurable for different sizes and contact counts, and the high-frequency contacts support high performance up to 70GHz. The bullet adapter takes up the tolerance between the edge launch termination and mating face and lowers the mating force needed for stacked boards. TE NanoRF Edge Launch Connectors support VITA 67.3 interfaces for VPX industry-standard implementations with SOSA compliance to support plug-in computing modules. The NanoRF series is ideal for military and radar applications such as RF switches, tuners, and software-defined radios.
