Tyco Electronics’ STAX
coax RF connector is the
first surface mount RF
board-to-board connector
on the market that uses
elastomeric connector
technology to provide an
economical means to
achieve low board separa-
tion while maintaining
excellent RF signal integrity
between PCBs.
The connector uses
laminated sections of
conductive and non-
conductive silicone that are
tuned to provide a 50 ohm
impedance line between
mated substrates. The
single piece construction
of the STAX coax RF
connector eliminates some
of the signal anomalies
normally associated with
mated pairs of metal contact
coax connectors. The
dimensional relationship
of the inner and outer
conductor is consistently
maintained throughout the
connector.
With its metal holder, the
STAX coax RF connector
can be surface mount
soldered to the PCB. An
additional metal SMT holder
aligns the connector to the
mating PCB. If adequate
PCB alignment is already
maintained by other means,
the STAX RF connector may
not need the additional
mating receptacle and
can become a blindmating
connector. This has an
additional advantage in
space constrained mobile
applications where very
fine-pitch board-to-board
connectors are also used.
