Coaxial cable displacement interface is a cost effective alternative to standard screw machine connectors for most cable-to-cable and cable-to-PC board applications.

New from Tyco Electronics, the QSL (Quick Stripline) RF connector series is designed to support the increasing demands for Wi-Fi (802.11) and WiMAX (802.16) enabled products and applications The innovative coaxial cable displacement interface is a cost effective alternative to standard screw machine connectors for most cable-to-cable and cable-to-PC board applications

The developing family of connectors includes both single- and multiport versions, with a wide range of configuration options including PCB and cable mount receptacles, cable plugs terminated to RG174 and RG316 cable types, and cable assemblies terminated in IP67 weatherproof housings.

The QSL interface exhibits excellent performance through 6GHz, has a temperature range of -40 to +85C, and durability of 250 cycles for single port and 500 cycles minimum for three-port QSL connectors.

The QSL is suitable for 50ohm applications, such as PCI/PCI Express cards and antennas for desktop PCs, mobile antennas, and satellite radio.

Plastic moulding of housings also facilitates fabrication of unique interfaces that comply with FCC requirements for radio frequency identification, broadcast and other wireless communication systems.

The platform is easily expandable, with performance headroom for new RF platforms and standards initiatives.

Features such as polarisation and keying, jackscrews and squeeze-to-release versions, low engagement and disengagement forces and specialty hybrid interfaces are readily accommodated.

Designs are fully RoHS compliant.
