CT2553-5

Optimized for aerospace satellite payloads, Cal Test Electronics's CT2553-5 Between Series Adapters delivers radiation-hardened performance in LEO environments. This space-qualified adapter maintains signal integrity despite 100krad TID exposure, making it ideal for next-generation constellation networks.The Spade Lug interface features gold-plated kovar contacts that withstand 2000 thermal cycles from -65 C to +150 C. The hermetic glass seal maintains 10^-9 atm-cc/sec helium leak rate in vacuum conditions.When configured for Banana Jack operation, the adapter's phase-stable design introduces less than 0.5 phase variation across the Ku band. The monofilament strain relief prevents microphonic effects in vibration environments.Available in Green options, the housing uses ceramic-filled PEEK material with outgassing properties compliant with NASA STD-6012. The atomic oxygen-resistant coating prevents degradation in LEO environments.
