294032
TE Connectivity Erni
Product details
TE Connectivity Erni's 294032 represents a quantum leap in Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board) for millimeter-wave applications. This 60GHz+ rated connector solution enables next-generation radar systems and 5G mmWave infrastructure with unmatched signal integrity.The Array, Female Sockets configuration features precision-machined contacts for waveguide transitions. The design maintains VSWR <1.2:1 up to 70GHz, outperforming conventional RF connectors.Available in 80 configurations, the connector supports phased array antenna elements. The optimized layout minimizes phase variation across channels.The /4 0.031" (0.80mm) spacing has been calculated for 60GHz operation. This precision spacing prevents unwanted coupling between adjacent antenna feeds.The 2 row architecture provides optimal ground return paths for millimeter-wave signals. This configuration has been validated for 64-element beamforming arrays.Engineered for Surface Mount installation, the connector features kinematic mounting for precise alignment. The design compensates for PCB thermal expansion in outdoor deployments.Critical Board Guide, Pick and Place, Solder Retention include integrated radomes and hermetic sealing. These protections ensure reliable operation in all weather conditions.The Gold formulation minimizes skin effect losses at millimeter-wave frequencies. Special surface treatments maintain consistent performance up to 100GHz.The 0.315" (8.00mm) profile has been optimized for integration with patch antenna arrays. This height provides proper impedance matching to radiating elements.
