Precision Compression-Mount Microwave Test Connectors
Until now, traditional test methods have required timely soldering and a limited number of test ports per board. Molex Precision Compression-Mount Microwave Test Connectors offer a more streamlined solution with a vertical mount design for placement anywhere on the PCB, enabling more test connectors to be placed around parts being tested. The compression-mount design also reduces installation time and costs by eliminating soldering from the process while achieving up to 65 GHz analog performance (supports data rates of 120 Gbps minimum). The product is available in mating interfaces including 1.85mm, 2.4mm, 2.92mm and SMA.

Wirewound Chip Inductors
Coilcraft has introduced two new series of low-profile wirewound chip inductors: the 0402CT Series and the 0402FL Series. The 0402CT Series features a ceramic core and has a maximum height of just 0.45 mm — a 30% lower profile than competitive products. Offered in 23 inductance values from 1.2 to 56 nH (with, 5%, 3% or 2% tolerance), the 0402CT provides excellent Q Factor performance – up to 84 at 2.4 GHz. It also offers self-resonant frequencies as high as 27.5 GHz and current ratings up to 2.3 Amps (Irms).
