Description
2493-04A-8 is an End Launch Connector manufactured by Southwest Microwave. The 2493-04A-8 is a 1.0mm Male coax connector with transition to PCB that operates up to 110 GHz. End Launch Connectors help reduce losses caused by the transition from PCB to Coax Connector and maintain a Low VSWR and RF Leakage. This End Launch is a Super Small design available for Microstrip or Coplanar printed circuit boards. All End Launch are field replaceable and require no solder for reusability. Southwest Microwave offers launch design support and various pin diameter configurations. Southwest Microwave Cage Code: 66049

TEST DATA:
End Launch Connectors on a Coplanar Board
Below are test results to 50 GHz for two 1492-04A-5 end launch connectors on a .008" Rogers RO4003 coplanar board. The plot shows both VSWR and insertion loss for the test board and the two connectors. Similar boards are used for the other launch geometries.
Connector No.1492-04A-5
Below are test results to 67 GHz for two 1892-04A-5 end launch connectors on a .008" Rogers RO4003 microstrip board with top ground launch. The plot shows both VSWR and insertion loss for the test board and the two connectors. This is not a standard test board.
