One Day Delivery With No Minimums on Hundreds of Application Specific Quadrax Contact Connector Combinations
Three of the many Quadrax contact combinations available from PEI-Genesis in 24 hours. (top) Quadrax connector, (right) Quadrax assembly with Quadrax PCB circuit board, (bottom) Quadrax contacts in an ARINC connector.This new approach is a customer-focused strategic decision, according to Daniel Borges, PEI-Genesis Product Marketing Manager. "By keeping a large inventory of Quadrax contacts and connectors separately, we can offer customers flexibility to meet a wider range of connector/insert combinations. Depending on the application we can select the correct connector and the right Quadrax contacts, and deliver a kit within 24 hours," said Borges.
PEI-Genesis's large inventory is especially important when used with the popular MIL-DTL-38999 connector line, which can be designed into an unlimited number of applications. Without a large inventory it would mean longer lead times and mandatory minimum purchased quantity requirements.
High speed Quadrax contacts consist of an outer contact with four inner contacts spaced to form two 100 or 150 Ohm controlled impedance differential pairs. Both contacts, when used in Amphenol MIL DTL-38999 Series III and ARINC type connectors, provide an excellent alternative for harsh environment applications such as:
Ethernet 100 Base-T-100 Ohm
Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Base-T-100 Ohm, 1000 Base-CX, 150 Ohm
Fibre Channel-150 Ohm, 1G/2G
IEEE1394B FireWire-110 Ohm
Serial FPDP Applications, 2.5Gbps
SCSCI-2, 3.2Gbps
Differential Twinax and Quadrax contact options include:
Crimp or printed circuit board termination
Established designs to accommodate a variety of cable types and gauges
Incorporation into ground plane connectors
These connectors have conductive inserts that ground the outer conductor of the contact body to the shell of the connector. They accommodate size 8 and 12 shielded contacts, of which the size 8 can be a Quadrax type.
Amphenol Aerospace provides PEI-Genesis and their customers the latest technology in high-speed size 8 Quadrax contacts for use in MIL-DTL-38999 Special Subminiature Cylindrical Connectors. "PEI-Genesis will help expand design opportunities for the Quadrax product line by greatly reducing lead times and offering more sales coverage. With their available inventory, PEI-Genesis can support the initial design requirements by accommodating smaller quantities with very good lead times. Most requests could be shipped in less than 24 hours," said Sandy Ford, Amphenol Aerospace Product Marketing Manager for High Speed Products.
