RF interconnects

Interconnection
TE Connectivity announced its next generation of RF products in the form of the KOAXXA RF interconnects product family.
The products supplement traditional RF connectors by providing alternative connectors designed for the right performance at a competitive price. The new SMA connectors are redeveloped as an extendable product platform for large-scale manufacturing and assembly automation. This enables mass customisation and reduces lead time and sensitivity to rising material and labour costs.
To combat material headwinds, the new KOAXXA connector family design reduces material consumption and waste. Advanced plating puts the precious metals only where needed: selective tin plating in the solder region promotes easy soldering and selective gold in the contact region offers the performance and durability needed to meet industry standards. The product leverages TE’s global standardised manufacturing footprint, allowing KOAXXA RF interconnects to meet global demands quickly.
As the first offering of the KOAXXA RF interconnects product family, the SMA product line is offered in the most popular configurations with frequency ranges and durability to help meet market needs. These include PCB straight and right-angle board mounts; cable plugs and jacks with a variety of flexible, semi-rigid and conformable cable types; and panel mount. Additional SMA configurations are planned.
KOAXXA SMA interconnects are designed to be fully compatible with IEC-169-15 interface standards and are qualified per EIA-364 test standard.
