2-86566-0

The 2-86566-0 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors represents a paradigm shift in FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors - Contacts for terahertz imaging systems. Its metamaterial-inspired design enables unprecedented signal fidelity in the 0.1-10THz frequency range.Featuring Socket architecture with plasmonic coupling elements, the contact achieves <0.2dB insertion loss at 1THz. The non-reciprocal design prevents standing wave formation in detector arrays.Utilizing Crimp techniques, the interface maintains <0.05 electrical length at 5THz. Femtosecond laser ablation creates surface textures that reduce surface wave scattering.Designed for 22-26 AWG superconducting nanowires, the contact's kinetic inductance matches free-space impedance. This critical feature enables efficient coupling to single-photon detectors.The Tin employs graphene layers that demonstrate <10ps carrier lifetime. This two-dimensional material outperforms traditional metals in terahertz mixer applications.With 100.0µin (2.54µm) atomic layer deposition, the contact achieves /100 thickness tolerance at 3THz. Sub-10nm coatings are essential for avoiding plasmonic losses.
