QuickLink twist-to-lock compression mount connector replaces surface mount connectors that require a receptacle on the PCB. Mounts directly to the PCB with a twist-to-lock footprint design that requires two small through-holes and a gold pad for the connector to land on. Footprints reportedly can be placed anywhere on the board to permit access to any channels from the device without having to solder on SMA or SMP surface mount receptacles. Low loss to 70GHz; meets bandwidth requirements of PAM4 signaling and Ka/Ku band applications. No threading or tools required.
