Keyed SMA RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave just released fixed length Keyed SMA cable assemblies that offer an ideal solution when polarization is required. These new Keyed SMA connectors are available in 4 unique keying configurations and are cabled to standard SMAs using Ø.085 cable. This new self-aligning design offers more space savings than other bayonet style connectors.
LC Field
The patented RJStop® system allows the use of a standard LC patch-cord in a metallic plug,
which will protect it from shock, dust, and fluids. There is no need for field termination.
This metallic plug connects to a receptacle, using a Tri-Start Thread coupling mechanism
(MIL-DTL-38999 Series III type) with an anti-decoupling device for high vibrations.
LDG P-Clamps
LDG P-Clamps use a softer rubber for clamp cushioning, reducing wear and tear on mission-critical cable harnesses – all without compromising the strength and performance of the clamp itself. Specifically designed for high-performance aerospace cables, such as the MT/MTL product lines, the LDG P-Clamps are easy to use, simple to maintain, and are available in 17 different sizes.
Leap-AHRD
The 300Gb/s Leap-AHRD High-Speed Optical Module is faster, smaller, more cost, and power-efficient than most conventional data center interconnects. The on-board transceiver rugged device is capable of speeds up to 25Gbps and distances up to 100 meters. The optical cable can be routed above and around other components in the integrated heat-sink design.
Lightening Hole Bushing
QuickSNAP Lightening Bushings are made to help guide wired bundles through the aircraft’s frame and stringers. QuickSNAP Lightening Bushings significantly reduce installation times and the amount of foreign object debris (FOD). Made with smooth edges in order to reduce wire chaffing, available in various standard configurations and sizes, customization is always an option.
Lightweight C-Clamps
Lightweight C-Clamps provide routing, support, and fixing for cable harnesses of various diameters. They are used in the wing sections of aircraft, in the fuselage for power and electrical cables, as well as inside the cabin for in-flight entertainment or cabin service systems. Different materials and configurations are available depending on the temperature and routing of the conduits.
Lightweight Ground Modules
New, lightweight grounding modules are suitable for a wide variety of military and airframe power distribution and grounding system applications. A convenient footprint for mounting on airframe or vehicle frames. High altitude operating specifications, low outgassing, and a high degree of salt spray resistance make the modules suitable for space & near-space applications.
LJT/HE308 - D38999 Series I
Amphenol Socapex is a MIL-DTL-38999 series I standard QPL and HE308 qualified manufacturer. The LJT product range was developed to meet the needs of the aerospace and military industries. It offers bayonet coupling connectors with a large variety of contact arrangements and shell types, maximum weight/space-saving, and 100 % contact protection.
Low Cost LRM
Low-cost LRM variation for cost savings from traditional LRMs. Family of connectors designed for Secondary Power Distribution Systems.
Low Profile RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave just released a new line of Low Profile RF cable assemblies that incorporate a unique ferrule design that protects the cable from overbending while maintaining a shorter distance from the front of the coupling nut to the back of the cable bend than standard offerings. The ferrule radius prevents the cable's overbending, which can cause defects that can lead to rework.
Low Profile Solderless PCB Edge Launch Connectors
SV’s new low profile RF solderless edge launch connectors are ideal for high frequency PCB applications. These rugged and reusable connectors occupy a smaller footprint on your board with a flange that is 30% smaller than the standard. Able to accommodate multiple PCB thicknesses, these connectors do not damage your board. Available in SMA, 2.92mm, 2.4mm and 1.85mm series.
LRM Connectors
Line replaceable module connectors are for motherboard/daughterboard chassis enclosures and have multiple options for contact count and termination methods. The utilization of Brush contacts with low mating force, ESD shields for Level II Maintenance, and lateral float for ultimate cold wall heat dissipation, make this board-to-board mating scheme the best solution for ruggedized chassis.
Luminus
Luminus are small, lightweight, cost-effective connectors that are highly reliable and simple to use. With multiple configurations and arrangements available, a solution can be tailored to suit your application’s exact requirements. RoHS and REACH compliant.
