IDC SMT Coax Connector
Series 9178
AVX has developed a unique 50 Ohm SMT Coax Connector based on our
industry proven discrete wire Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC)
technology. By combining two different sized IDC contacts, we can
reliably pierce the center conductor and outside jacket dielectric materials
to make electrical connection to the signal wire and braid (ground
connection). Designed specifically for RG178 cable, the concept can be
applied to other cable sizes.
The connector comes with a pre-attached cap in tape & reel packaging.
The coax cable only needs the outer jacket and braid stripped. The cable
is then inserted into the connector and the cap can be pressed down via
a small press or hand tool. The biggest advantage of this connector is that
it is extremely easy to terminate, no soldering, additional stripping
processes or crimp tools are needed. The all plastic design is more cost
effective than plated screw machine components while providing a VSWR
less than 1.2:1 in excess of 700MHz.
APPLICATIONS
• Reliable & Repeatable termination of RG178 coax cable to a
PCB to replace hard solder connections
• Cost effective replacement of standard coax connectors in
low frequency applications for RG178 cable
• Standard Microminiature type RF products: GPS, Radio
Boards, Meters, RFID and data communications
• Application notes: refer to 201-01-131
