mmWave connectors are field replaceable

Hirose has recently unveiled three new mmWave field replaceable coaxial connectors, expanding its range of compact connector solutions. These connectors are compliant with IEC 61169-32, MIL-STD-348B, and RoHS2 standards, offering secure screw mounting and flexible cable options for simplified design and assembly. Learn more about the mmWave connector family.

Designed to withstand challenging environments, these compact field replaceable coaxial connectors provide reliable and efficient performance. They offer superior impedance matching across temperature variations in a compact and lightweight package.

These connectors are ideal for use in RF modules, measuring instruments, radio communication equipment, and other applications. The family includes versions in 1.85 mm, 2.4 mm, and 2.92 mm.

The HV-R-FR2(**) 1.85 mm coaxial connector supports high-frequency transmission up to 71 GHz with a minimum return loss of 16.5 dB. VSWR values at different frequencies are: 50 GHz, 1.3 Max; 60 GHz, 1.5 Max; 67 GHz, 1.8 Max.

The H2.4-R-FR2(**) 2.4 mm connector version is capable of supporting up to 50 GHz, with a VSWR value of 1.3 Max at 50 GHz.

The HK-R-FR2(**) 2.92 mm coaxial connector offers support for frequencies up to 43.5 GHz, with a VSWR value of 1.3 Max at 43.5 GHz.
