Compliant with IEC 61169-32, MIL-STD-348B and RoHS2 standards, the new mmWave connector family has been designed to offer secure screw mounting and flexible cable options to simplify design and assembly.

The compact field replaceable coaxial connectors feature a rugged design that ensures reliable and efficient performance in demanding environments. The connector family offers superior impedance matching against temperature change in a space- and weight-saving package.

Intended for finished RF modules, measuring instrumentation, radio communication equipment and more, the new field replaceable coaxial product offering includes a 1.85 mm, 2.4 mm and 2.92 mm version.

The HV-R-FR2(**) 1.85 mm coaxial connector provides high-frequency transmission up to 71 GHz with a return loss of only 16.5 dB minimum. VSWR values include:

  • 50Ghz, 1.3 Max
  • 60GHz, 1.5 Max
  • 67Ghz, 1.8 Max

The H2.4-R-FR2(**) 2.4 mm connector version supports up to 50 GHz. The VSWR value is:

  • 50Ghz, 1.3 Max

The HK-R-FR2(**) 2.92 mm coaxial connector supports up to 43.5 GHz. The VSWR value is:

  • 43.5Ghz, 1.3 Max
