RF multiport D-sub interconnects

4 April 2012 Interconnection

Originally designed with medical magnetic resonance applications in mind, FCT Electronics has now made its 50 Ω 16W16 product line available to other markets and applications.

With 16 RF channels, the product can be terminated cable-to-cable or cable-to-PCB. The range also includes coding options to allow multiple ports with specific channel configuration. The connectors offer VSWR (DC to 1 GHz) of 1,12:1, insertion loss < 0,06 dB and isolation < -100 dB.

The PCB connector is available as a right-angle socket configuration and is plated with a non-magnetic, non-tarnishing tri-metal finish. The connector benefits from having a continuous ground and single-piece, swept right-angled contacts that produce excellent VSWR performance.

Cabled connectors are available in either male or female straight configurations, with the female version having a fully plastic housing to eliminate ground loops if used in conjunction with the PCB connector.

The product family is fully supported with all the standard hardware options available within FCT’s D-sub range of connectors, including plastic and metal hoods. Although RG178 is the common cable of choice, RG316 versions are also available. The range is completely RoHS compliant.
