New GPS contact from ITT
22 July 2009
Interconnection
ITT Interconnect Solutions has expanded its Universal Contact family with the Universal GPS Contact. The new device is a 1,8 mm dry circuit pressure contact that when mated and deflected, maintains true contact beam positioning with no conductivity to the side walls. The contact also achieves a mating force of 0,3 N with only 0,1 mm beam movement.
The proliferation of GPS features within handheld devices has brought many technical challenges, including the need to transmit and receive high-frequency signals above 1,8 GHz between antenna and circuit board, without signal distortion. The Universal GPS Contact was designed so that it maintains signal length and wave integrity, transmitting and receiving distortion-free signals.
The cost-effective, robust contact allows complete freedom of board positioning and features a domed contact mating point and side wings. The contact’s X-Y-Z movement provides a robust antenna connection. The single-piece stamped and formed BeCu contact has a deflection of 0,9 mm and a free height of 1,8 mm.
