Connectors Mate SMT Optical Modules August 2001 Issue Published Date: August 01, 2001
Designed for surface mount optical modules, the EZ series connectors claim to significantly reduce the number of parts compared to existing FC, SC and MU optical connectors. They feature a detachable connector/module interface for use with easy-to-use tools and provide built-in guide rails for self-aligning mating. The PO series of 2 mm hard metric coaxial connectors includes the PO21, which provides high-density coaxial contact into two mm(24 contacts in the normal space of six. The connector is available in 50½, conforming to IEC 61076-4-101 standards. It can handle frequencies up to 3 GHz and is available in straight plugs and jacks, a right angle dip plug, and right angle jack versions. The coaxial connectors of the PO51M are DIN standard and have an impedance of 50 and the PO82M series connectors have a 75 impedance. HIROSE ELECTRIC INC., Simi Valley, CA. (805) 522-7958.
