Rosenberger’s new EBC® (Efficient Board Connector) series is the ideal 5G board-to-board and board-to-module RF interconnect solution for active MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antennas and radios. Outstanding performance, low cost design and high mechanical stability make EBC® the perfect future-proof product for 5G radio interconnections. For applications up to 8 GHz, EBC® connectors fulfill the challenging requirements caused by the exponential data volumes increases in future 5G networks. Essential characteristics include extremely small dimensions, radial and axial misalignments, different holding forces, minimum board-to-board distances, and fast and cost-effective assembly design. A key mechanical design feature is the locating side which is integrated in the bullet. One side has a smooth bore, while the other has a limited-detent design. The single PCB coupler provides a consistent footprint with preloaded outer contacts for ensuring contact optimization, the push/snap-on locking mechanism allows fast and easy disconnection.

Rosenberger QN coaxial connectors are based on the N connector interface. With a frequency range of up to 11 GHz depending on the connector and cable type, the quick-lock mechanism enables reliable and easy connection, 10 times faster than standard N offerings. Ideal for tight spaces such as those found in mobile base stations, the packing density of QN exceeds that of N connectors due to the minimum pitch and toolless assembly. Torque spanners are not required. QN and standard N connectors are not intermateable.

Rosenberger RPC-1.85 precision connectors – with 50 Ω impedance and 1.85 mm outer conductor diameter – are designed for test & measurement applications up to 70 GHz. Delivering outstanding reliability and repeatability performance they are intermateable with common 1.85 mm series and V connectors as well as with RPC-2.40 connectors. This comprehensive product range is suitable for semi-rigid cables and microwave components and includes cable, panel and PCB connectors, adaptors and test & measurement accessories – including RPC-1.85 calibration kits, cables assemblies, measurement equipment, attenuators, sliding loads and airlines.
