RF Coax Connectors
SMT|QuickGrip Connectors
SMT | QuickGrip provides
optimal cable retention for
applications where shock,
vibration, and/or cable flex-
ure may be encountered.
This unique RF design
accepts both flexible and
semi-rigid micro-coaxial
cables while delivering
exceptional RF perfor-
mance up to 3GHz.
Features
ꢀ Solderless Cable
Termination
ꢀ 3.0 [.118] Mated Height
ꢀ Excellent Cable Retention
ꢀ Usable With Flexible and
Semi-Rigid Micro-Coaxial
Cables
ꢀ Tape and Reel Packaging
These features make this
system extremely versatile
for design engineers and
offer a reliable, cost effective
alternative to direct solder-
ing of cable to the PCB. The
cable is inserted into the
device by means of a simple
self-aligning hand tool, elimi-
nating the requirement for
skilled personnel. This sys-
tem removes the possibility
of damaged PCBs and
AMP revolutionary
SMT | QuickGrip product
line is designed to meet the
growing demand for a reli-
able, low cost system for
direct termination of coax to
a printed circuit board
(PCB). SMT | QuickGrip
technology eliminates the
requirement to connectorize
the coaxial cable, reduc-
ing assembly times and,
therefore, cost. The
