Choosing the Right 1.85 End Launch Connector 

High-frequency PCB designs require connectors that can maintain signal quality while creating a dependable connection between coaxial cables and circuit traces. A well-designed 1.85 end launch connector is built for demanding microwave and millimetre-wave applications, with Gwave Technology offering options designed for frequencies reaching up to 67 GHz.

Understanding the Design and Function of a 1.85 End Launch Connector

An End Launch Connector creates a transition between a coaxial cable and a PCB transmission line. Its contact pin aligns with the PCB signal pad, while the ground connection helps control reflections and preserve signal integrity.

Key design issues include:

  • Frequency Range: Select a connector that can accommodate your frequency range.
  • PCB compatibility: Check board thickness and launch geometry before installation.
  • Mechanical fit: Proper alignment and secure mounting help maintain consistent performance.

Gwave Technology’s 1.85mm end-launch options include models rated to 65 GHz and 67 GHz, depending on the design.

Where an End Launch Connector Fits into High-Frequency PCB Applications

Such connectors will prove very helpful where there is the need for coaxial signals to be transmitted into a PCB without causing any disturbance. These may be used in applications where RF testing, telecommunication, radar, and satellites are involved.
Correct grounding and accurate pin alignment are important because poor installation can increase reflections and affect transmission efficiency.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a 1.85 End Launch Connector

Consider these points before choosing your connector:

  • Operating frequency: Select a suitable GHz rating.
  • Board thickness: Make sure the connector matches the PCB.
  • Mounting style: Compare flange and mounting configurations.
  • Signal integrity: Look for a design suited to your required RF performance.

Gwave Technology also provides other high-frequency interconnect solutions, making it worth exploring when you need a G3PO connector, 1.0mm connector, or surface mount connector for specialised RF applications.
