TE Connectivity NanoRF Connectors

TE Connectivity's (TE) NanoRF Connectors offer high-density RF and optical connections within a common connector module for VPX-based embedded computing systems. These connectors feature an 85GHz maximum rated frequency and 50Ω impedance. TE NanoRF connectors use a floating insert in the backplane with guide features that pre-align contacts before engaging, reducing potential for damage. These connectors are available in basecard and mezzanine edge mount or cable options. Typical applications include radar, military, and tactical communication.
