Fairview Microwave Debuts New High-Speed Millimeter-Wave End Launch Connectors

New End Launch Connectors Deliver VSWR as Low as 1.10:1

LEWISVILLE, Texas – Fairview Microwave Inc., a supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, has released a new line of high-speed end launch connectors. They are ideal for signal integrity measurements, chip evaluations, coplanar waveguide, 25 GbE, SERDES, substrate characterization and test fixture applications.

Fairview’s new line of high-speed end launch connectors is comprised of 4 models that provide VSWR as low as 1.10:1 and a maximum operating frequency of 40 to 110 GHz, depending on the model. These connectors are reusable, don’t require any soldering and have a compact profile with a 0.350-inch mounting width and a 0.005-inch launch pin. They feature an outer conductor made of stainless steel and a gold-plated beryllium copper center contact. These end launch connectors are ideally suited for high-speed digital and mmWave system development.

“Our new family of end launch connectors delivers amazing VSWR performance with a reduced mounting profile, allowing our customers to fit even more connections in the same PCB area,” said Dan Birch, Product Manager at Fairview Microwave.

Fairview’s new high-speed end launch connectors are in stock and ready for immediate shipment with no minimum order quantity. For detailed information on these products, please visithttps://www.fairviewmicrowave.com/rf-products/high-speed-end-launch-connectors.html.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
