SpaceNXT™ - HC Series Attenuators and Thermopads®
2020-05-27
In response to the raising demand of the commercial
space programs - and in particular of GEO/MEO and
LEO satellites - for high-reliability connectivity solutions,
Smiths Interconnect has introduced SpaceNXTTM, the new
range of COTS+ platform products specifically designed
and tested for critical space flight applications.
The SpaceNXT™ HC Series are temperature variable and fixed
chip attenuators offering a high volume solution that leverages
the company’s space heritage with improved performance over
a QPL or traditional COTS product. Available from a standard
part list that eliminates the need for time-consuming drawings
and specifications, the HC Series provides an easy-to-use and
and cost effective solution with proven mission assurance.
This solution is also well suited for military and aerospace
applications.
The HC series offers the addition of 100% flight product testing
to Group A for mission assurance. Options for group B and
C testing are also available to further and completely qualify
the lot of product. All data is provided to the customer for
compliance to specification and mission assurance.
The availability of fixed and Thermopad® attenuators in the
same footprint gives the program ultimate design flexibility
to tailor the response over variations in temperature. The
Thermopad® compensates for gain variation over temperature
and is a totally passive, surface mountable temperature
variable attenuator. The Thermopad® can be used in place of a
standard chip attenuator to combine level setting or buffering
and temperature compensation in a single chip design. This
reduces the component count, whilst increasing reliability and
lowering costs.
The new fully tested solution is available in a planar version for
the lowest cost option or in a triple wrapped series which gives
the best visibility for inspection of the solder attachment. The
products are delivered on standard tape and reel packaging to
seamlessly integrate the customer’s pick and place equipment
and ensure an easy installation.
