SMITHS INTERCONNECT’S CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS NOMINATED FOR THEIR HIGH RELIABILITY IN CRITICAL APPLICATIONS
miths Interconnect is a leading provider of high reliability connectivity products and solutions serving segments of aerospace and defence, medical, semiconductor test, and industrial markets. It designs and
manufactures technically differentiated electronic components, microwave, optical and radio frequency products and sub-systems that connect, protect and control critical applications. For this year’s Instrumentation Excellence Awards three products have been nominated. The new Cat5e and Cat6A data modules for modular connectors offer robust performance in terms of electric requirement, and EMC shielding to external sources for protection and minimisation crosstalk. The electrical performance of these modules is optimised through low insertion loss, controlled impedance, and high return loss characteristics, which contribute to efficient signal transmission with minimal attenuation and reflection, reducing data transmission errors and ensuring high-speed communication. The high frequency SMPM Mini-lock connector enables a new level of reliability for mission critical applications with an operating temperature range between -65 °C to 165 °C. Mini-Lock cable assemblies can operate up to 110 GHz with very low
insertion loss and VSWR covering a wide variety of applications. Patent pending technology is utilised to avoid common electrical bead resonance and other RF issues found at very high frequencies. DaVinci sockets for high speed test offers a revolutionary solution for production ruggedness and signal integrity. The latest addition to the series is the DaVinci Gen V test socket, specifically engineered to meet the demands of semiconductor manufacturers. It enables full functional testing of next-generation ASIC devices
at 224 Gbps with unmatched accuracy and repeatability. Smiths Interconnect’s design team utilises extensive system simulation models throughout product development to ensure an optimal solution for each test environment. We also perform design validation and RF measurements which exceed the industry’s stringent test requirements ensuring excellent performance and quick test system bring up.
