nation of coax to a printed circuit board (PCB). SMT|QuickGrip鈩?tech-
reducing assembly times and, therefore, cost. The SMT|QuickGrip鈩?/div>
surface mount device occupies less PCB area than conventional
through hole coaxial connectors. An innovative microstrip mounting
pattern and cable receptacle design ensures excellent grounding and
PCB retention. The SMT|QuickGrip鈩?cable termination system stands
a mere 3mm off the board when mated, allowing for closer pitch/spacing
when designing a system. The SMT|QuickGrip鈩?provides optimal cable
retention for applications where shock, vibration, and/or cable flexure
may be encountered. This unique RF design accepts both flexible and
semi-rigid micro-coaxial cables while delivering exceptional RF perfor-
mance up to 3GHz.
These features make this system extremely versatile for design engi-
neers and offer a reliable, cost effective alternative to direct soldering of
cable to the PCB. The cable is inserted into the device by means of a
simple self-aligning hand tool, eliminating the requirement for skilled per-
sonnel. This system removes the possibility of damaged PCBs and
cables which are common quality issues associated with direct solder,
while providing superior RF performance. The SMT|QuickGrip鈩?accom-
modates multiple cable insertions allowing easy replacement of cables
for repairs. This receptacle is designed for high volume assembly using
surface mount technology and is available in tape and reel packaging for
pick and place board assembly. Pre-stripped cables and inter-series
cable pigtails are available as turnkey solutions for your application
needs (i.e.: for use in multi-board applications, for connecting antennas
to the PCB, or point to point transmission on the same PCB).
The SMT|QuickGrip鈩?cable termination system is ideal for wireless
surface mount applications in handsets, pagers and personal digital
assistants (PDA). The SMT|QuickGrip鈩?mechanical and electrical
performance, coupled with its ease of use, ensure it to be a high quality,
reliable solution for current and future interconnect needs. M/A-COM is
an ISO9001 certified manufacturer and maintains an SPC controlled
manufacturing environment. Please call your local Sales or Distribution
