AMP revolutionary
SMT | QuickGrip product
line is designed to meet the
growing demand for a reliable,
low cost system for
direct termination of coax to
a printed circuit board
(PCB). SMT | QuickGrip
technology eliminates the
requirement to connectorize
the coaxial cable, reducing
assembly times and,
therefore, cost. The
SMT | QuickGrip surface
mount device occupies less
PCB area than conventional
through hole coaxial connectors.
An innovative
microstrip mounting pattern
and cable receptacle
design ensures excellent
grounding and PCB retention.
The SMT | QuickGrip
cable termination system
stands a mere 3.0 [.118] off
the board when mated,
allowing for closer
pitch/spacing when designing
a system. The
SMT | QuickGrip provides
optimal cable retention for
applications where shock,
vibration, and/or cable flexure
may be encountered.
This unique RF design
accepts both flexible and
semi-rigid micro-coaxial
cables while delivering
exceptional RF performance
up to 3GHz.
These features make this
system extremely versatile
for design engineers and
offer a reliable, cost effective
alternative to direct soldering
of cable to the PCB. The
cable is inserted into the
device by means of a simple
self-aligning hand tool, eliminating
the requirement for
skilled personnel. This system
removes the possibility
of damaged PCBs and
cables which are common
quality issues associated
with direct solder, while providing
superior RF performance.
The SMT |QuickGrip
accommodates multiple
cable insertions allowing
easy replacement of cables
for repairs. This receptacle
is designed for high volume
assembly using surface
mount technology and is
available in tape and reel
packaging for pick and
place board assembly. Pre-stripped
cables and interseries
cable pigtails are
available as turnkey solutions
for your application
needs (i.e.: for use in multiboard
applications, for connecting
antennas to the
PCB, or point to point transmission
on the same PCB).
The SMT | QuickGrip cable
termination system is ideal
for wireless surface mount
applications in handsets,
pagers and personal
digital assistants (PDA).
The SMT | QuickGrip
mechanical and electrical
performance, coupled with
its ease of use, ensure it to
be a high quality, reliable
solution for current and
future interconnect needs.
