Ferrites solve EMC at the board level
The Ferronics 24-0EMI/RFI kit is a ferrite kit which solve a wide range of EMI/RFI problems.
Well-suited for a variety of military and commercial applications, the G3PO can be used in radar systems, telecommunications and wireless basestation equipment, satellite systems, antenna arrays etc.
It is available from MRC Components.
"Corning Gilbert's broad development experience in coaxial push-on interconnects continues to set the industry gold standard for performance.
Our innovative G3POTM product line will perform at higher frequencies than the current GPO and GPPO and will enable our customers to design and manufacture in smaller size packages", said Kathryn Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corning Gilbert.
The G3PO connectors support increased package density with centre-to-centre spacing of 0.085in minimum and PCB to PCB stack height of 0.120in minimum.
The new connectors are designed for 50ohm.
They feature a frequency range from DC to 65GHz and an operating temperature range from -65 to +165C.
Typical VSWR is 1.1:1 to 26.5GHz and 1.25:1 to 65GHz.
They allow for both radial and axial misalignment with negligible VSWR change and are capable of meeting environmental requirements per MIL-PRF-39012 such as corrosion, vibration, mechanical shock, thermal shock and moisture resistance.
Our unique axial and radial misalignment features enable efficient assembly and robust performance under challenging conditions.
The G3POTM standard blind-mate interconnect, part number R1R1-0001-01, weighs only 0.2mg.
The G3POTM product line includes custom blind-mate interconnects, edge-launch and surface-mount connectors, cable connectors - male and female, multiposition blocks in various sizes and detents, hermetic and load connectors.
To meet customer specific short lead times, Corning Gilbert offers a fast and reliable turn around in the prototype shop.
"We specialise in custom designs that meet our customers' requirements and can be manufactured in short lead times", explained Eric Paulus, Design Engineering Manager.
In addition, the products are being manufactured efficiently in high volumes at the production facility in Glendale, Arizona.
