Low board-to-board RF coax connectors

25 November 2020 Interconnection

The IMP-LP product range is Radiall’s lowest board-to-board distance solution with optimised RF performance. This small form factor system features a pressure contact design to provide a quick and reliable installation without any soldering.

The new IMP product range is a true coaxial line providing excellent RF performance in one small, single package. While standard SMP type solutions require two receptacles linked by one bullet, IMP provides the same functionality with only one connector.

The smart design with inner and outer elastic contacts ensures electrical continuity and does not require an additional soldering process on the other side. This unique design makes IMP-LP an easy-to-install and low-maintenance solution that can be used to connect various RF modules or boards together.

This micro-miniature product offers an ultra-low board-to-board distance of 1,34 mm with an optimised minimum diameter of 3,9 mm. The lowest board-to-board distance axial misalignment is +/-0,1 mm and a higher board-to-board distance axial tolerance can be improved up to +/-0,2 mm. The 50 Ω coaxial line has been qualified up to 18 GHz for demanding Mil-Aero environments requiring resistance to vibration and shock.
