Earlier this month, HUBER+SUHNER was proud to launch an all-new portfolio of coax-to-PCB compression mount PCB connectors. These connectors will play a critical role in several types of applications, from test and characterization boards, reference boards, high-speed digital evaluation and also for in-system or internal connectivity.


It’s worth taking some time in understanding a little bit more about them and what makes them tick a lot of boxes for PCB designers, lab managers and SI engineers. 

Precision compression mount PCB connectors

Embracing the solderless advantage


Precision compression mount PCB connectors can be put to use in the design of semiconductors and Test and Measurement equipment manufacturing. 


Designers, managers, lab technicians and engineers can use them to very promptly mount a test interface onto the Device Under Test (DUT) PCB. This allows for immediate measurements without delays from any operational processing. With only a slight and negligible compromise in electrical performance, the key benefit of using compression mount PCB connectors is the elimination of uncontrollable solder joints.


These types of connectors are increasingly being adopted into systems that advocate the theory that solder joints have an inherent variability and should be eliminated in favour of more controlled and reliable connections.

Key features of HUBER+SUHNER precision compression mount PCB connectors


Fast and easy installation

Our straight and edge-mount connector design allows for ease in installation in the most appropriate position


Precision testing up to 110 GHz

Thanks to the availability of the most common mm-standard interfaces widely useful in various fields of application of up to 110 GHz


Reusable design

The connectors can be reused across multiple programs, thereby significantly reducing the overall testing costs


Small form factor

Connectors can be positioned very close to each other, and this further helps to save expensive board material
