Rosenberger has developed the Spring Loaded Coax system. The system is designed to make quick, reliable and low-abrasion connections up to 40 GHz to single-layer or multi-layer printed circuit boards with the microwave layer on the top. The system covers SMA cable assemblies (up to 18 GHz) and RPC-2.92 cable assemblies (up to 40 GHz). Rosenberger offers a wide range of SLC solutions (SLC- Spring Loaded Contact) for different designs:

• Impedance controlled SLC for transmission of RF signals in board-to-board applications

• Hybrid SLC solutions with a combination of DC, RF signal transmission, power supply  and fiber optical lines 

• SLC cable connectors, board and panel mounted products

• Backplane designs

• Products desiring a high degree of tolerance compensation between the mating partners

Product Features

• Frequency range DC to 6 GHz

• Current rating typical 1.5 A

• Data rates up to 10 Gbit/s

• Tolerance compensation > 0.6 mm

• Mating cycles > 1000

Benefits

• Easy Installation and uninstallation of sub-assemblies

• Application over a wide range of voltage, current and frequency ranges

• Compensation of position tolerance of matingpartners within system
