Application
The SP Series offers a fast, reliable, and sealed method for terminating coaxial cables directly to printed circuit boards (PCBs). This all-in-one terminator integrates a prefluxed solder ring inside a transparent heat-shrink sleeve. A single heating step creates the solder joint while the sleeve shrinks to provide robust mechanical support, protecting conductors against fatigue breakage. This ensures low-loss, stable signal transmission. Available in Matched-Impedance and Pin-to-Ground configurations, ideal for RF, signal, and shield grounding in communications and high-precision industrial electronics.
Series Overview
• SP150A-xX Series (Matched Impedance): Designed for high-frequency RF and data lines up to 2.3 GHz. Available in Straight or Right-Angle PCB entry styles.
• SP150A-x Series (Pin-to-Ground): Optimized for low-frequency signal grounding and termination, effective up to 100 MHz.
Features and benefits
• Direct-to-PCB: Eliminates costly connectors for a cost-effective, permanent connection.
• Vibration Resistant: Integral reinforcement prevents pad lifting and wire breakage.
• High-Frequency Performance: Matched impedance design ensures signal integrity up to 2.3 GHz.
• Sealed Protection: Blocks moisture and flux residue for long-term reliability
Notes:
• Selection Criteria: Choose based on frequency requirements and mechanical layout (entry style, hole spacing/diameter).
• Contact us for detailed sizing and part numbers.
• Custom configurations available; specifications subject to change; MOQ may vary.
