Vertical launch, compression mount, 1.85mm connector
Southwest Microwave has announced a compression mount, vertical launch, 1.85mm connector operating up to 67 GHz. This product is similar to the popular end launch connectors as it is reusable and requires no solder, but it launches vertically off the PCB instead of clamping to the edge of the board. This promises to be a space-saver for test/characterization boards where the trace fan-out to accommodate end launch connectors introduces additional line lengths.
