The performance of surface mount RF connectors
is dependent on a variety of
parameters, e.g. substrate
thickness, board-stack up
etc.
At Rosenberger, we not
only provide you with the
surface mount connectors, we provide – as a
free service – a footprint
that is optimized for your
application.
RF surface mount
connectors from Rosenberger – along with
optimized footprints – are
available in various standard interfaces – SMP,
Mini-SMP, MCX, SMA,
QMA and for various test &
measurement connectors.
