mmWave Adaptors and Connectors

As 5G development continues, the diversity of applications such as high-speed

communications, satellite communications, military and aerospace, alongside the ever-

changing demands for higher-frequency test systems are driving coaxial cable assemblies

and connectors to the next level.

To allow for complete compatibility with end use-cases, the Taoglas series of connectors and

adaptors, which are all cross-mateable to other industry standard connectors. The adaptors

allow you to interface 2.92mm connectors with , including SMA(F), SMP(F), 2.4(F) and 2.92(F)

connectors and are available in female to female, female to male combinations. The connectors

and adaptors support DC of up to 40GHz frequencies, are rated to 50 Ohm impedance, while

exhibiting low VSWR and low RF leakage. The connectors are precision engineered from high-

quality materials and undergo stringent reliability testing to provide superior reliability for the

most demanding of applications.

The 2.92mm connector was developed for compatibility up to 40 GHz. The male pin is shorter

than that in a standard SMA connector and ensures that the outer contacts of the male and

female connectors engage before the pin and female receptacle engage. This ensures that

the pin and socket will not see excessive wear and mating stress seen by misalignment in SMA

connectors for example and ensures consistent performance. The 2.92mm connector also has a

thicker wall than a standard SMA connector. The 2.92mm adaptors category also includes 2 or 4

hole panel mount, PCB vertical mount and PCB edge mount configurations..

Typical Use Cases:

• 5G mmWave Networks and Communications Infrastructure

• High-frequency, small cell-based wireless access points

• MIMO ultra-high speed outdoor backhaul fixed and moving wireless access points

• Test and measurement instrumentation

• High-speed, Mil-Aero, SATCOM, and instrumentation applications

Features and Benefits:

• High-frequency bands coverage (DC to 40 GHz)

• Low Isolation

• 2.92mm cross-mateable to other industry standards

• RoHS & Reach Compliant
