The new SpaceNXT™ HC Series of product is tested to meet the space orbit environmental criteria and is

offered in a high-volume solution that leverages the Smiths Interconnect’s space heritage to improve

reliability and performance over a QPL or COTS product. This series is supplied with all the necessary

test and qualification data to ensure flight compliance at a low cost of ownership.

 Smiths Interconnect’s HC-CXH Series of outrigger resistors and terminations use a patented

layout to provide improved power handling and add high reliability over conventional

surface mount solutions. Additional solder pads (outriggers) allow these products to

dissipate significantly more power through the extra thermal paths (up to 50%).

 When properly matched in a 50 ohm system the HC-CXH series have proven broadband

performance characteristics. To aid RF designers in achieving the best possible performance

Smiths Interconnect offers recommended mounting guidelines with PCB layout dimensions

attachment materials and temperature profiles.

 HC-CXH series is well suited for a wide array of RF applications and markets. Smiths

Interconnect offers multiple footprint, power handling and material options, resulting in

design flexibility and adaptability.

 The CXH series are manufactured using robust thick film technology. The products are

screened based on MIL-PRF-55342 to ensure long term Hi-Reliability. Flight units come with

100% group A screening with optional Group B and C qualification.

* HC-CXH Series results from the combination of the PNs of HC-CRH and HC-CTH products.
