Model-specific frequency limits: 2.92 mm through 40 GHz; 1.85 mm through 67 GHz; selected 1.0 mm models through 110 / 125 GHz. The 145 GHz test data applies to the featured 0.8 mm vertical launch. Confirm the exact drawing, launch style and PCB compatibility.
Design the complete transition
Connector, transmission line and ground structure work together.
Choose the launch geometry
End launches mount at the board edge. Vertical launches mount through the board surface. Match the geometry to board access, footprint and mechanical loading.
Control the PCB transition
Substrate, trace width, copper geometry, via placement and ground continuity influence return loss and insertion loss.
Review before board release
Use the applicable drawing, recommended footprint, available simulation resources and test data before committing the PCB to fabrication.
Applications
Plan the coax connection around the hardware.
Evaluation boards
Provide repeatable coax access for circuit evaluation and prototype characterization.
RF and mmWave modules
Choose edge or vertical access around the module’s mounting constraints and transmission-line layout.
Broadband component testing
Select the connector interface for the required measurement band and verify model-specific coverage.
Reusable test fixtures
Plan for removable launch hardware, board mounting and mechanical support for repeated connections.
