RPC-1.00

Following the revision of the IEC 61169-24 interface standard in response to the increasing performance demands of the broadcast television sector, Rosenberger has fundamentally revised its F-interface calibration elements. The considerably improved characteristics include an extended frequency range, from DC to 4 GHz up to DC to 6 GHz, and a doubling of mating cycles from 500 to 1000. The new 6 GHz-spectrum F series from Rosenberger comprises calibration adaptors, calibration loads, opens, shorts and loads. A new “full range” calibration adaptor is also available, addressing the extremely wide male connector pin tolerances of 0.64 mm to 1.13 mm.

Rosenberger provides a wide range of Multiport Mini-Coax connectors and cable assemblies for addressing the challenging technological demands of the semiconductor test equipment industry. For both 20 and 40 GHz applications, the extensive standard range comprises PCB connectors, purpose-designed plastic-housings and pre-assembled cable assembly sets. This ensures cable assembly configurations that precisely meet customer-specific test requirements. Board-to-board connections can be applied in very limited spaces with the advantages of coaxial shielding while a handy extraction tool ensures mating and demating can be done quickly and easily onsite. The cost-effective injection moulded housings for connection to one side of the PCB are available with 2, 4, 6 or 8 channels and allow the mixing of straight and right angle Mini-Coax cable pairs. Interface dimensions are based on Rosenberger standard Mini-Coax connectors.

Rosenberger MagCode® PowerSystem and MagCode® PowerSystemPro ensure safe and reliable magnetic connection to 12V and 24V external power sources. This includes ‘cigarette lighter’ receptacles commonly found on many vehicles such as cars, trucks, vans and campers as well as motorcycles and boats.

Rosenberger HVR®50 connectors are available in straight and angled variants. The additional slide locking mechanism (CPA – Connector Position Assurance) prevents accidental disconnection. Despite their small size these connectors achieve a current capacity of approximately 60 A at 85 °C. HVR®50 connectors are mainly used in ancillary units such as electrical heating systems, air-conditioning units, DC/DC converters, and for charging batteries.
