Description
TR™ Multicoax delivers superior signal integrity from multiple high speed analog or digital channels. With a choice of 20 GHz, 40 GHz, 70 GHz, or 90 GHz configurations, users can upgrade their connectors as bandwidth requirements on their applications increases. TR is the highest density high speed multicoax connector on the market. The interface is compression mount which drives lower total cost of testing by avoiding costly solder-down components that can’t be recovered, encouraging reuse across programs.
