Introducing MXPD70: the next step in multicoax test solutions

At HUBER+SUHNER, we’ve established a deep expertise and close collaboration with our customers in the Test and Measurement industry and a critical understanding of their coax-to-PCB needs. Our all-new MXPD70  multicoax test solution is just the next development step in a comprehensive portfolio of proprietary products to address these needs. 

MXPD or “Multicoax Precision Direct” is a miniaturized, solderless multicoax test solution that supports two critical trends in the semiconductor industry:

Many companies face increased internal budget pressures, and our connector-less MXPD solution helps by eliminating the need for expensive connectors and saving vital time in the operational soldering processing.

Another trend is the use of heaters and/or coolers mounted directly above the DUTs, creating height restrictions for multicoax cables. To address this, our MXPD70 cable assemblies are available in both straight and right-angle configurations, providing sufficient clearance for these heating/cooling devices.

With frequency of up to 70 GHZ, these assemblies will make a significant difference for our customers’ High Speed Digital Testing (HSDT) requirements, for test and characterization boards, within automated test equipment and for specific customer applications as well.

• Solderless compression mount interface: No PCB solder-down components required
• Superior signal integrity up to 70 GHz: Ready for 112 Gbps data analysis
• Pitch 3.4 mm/0.134 inch center-to-center: Dense footprint get assemblies closer to the DUT
• 1x8 straight and 1x8 right angle versions available (with super-low profile of 11.9 mm/0.469 inch): Tailored for mounting beneath heaters/coolers with restricted clearance
• Identical layout for both straight and right angle version: Reduced simulation efforts and more convenient assembly replacements when necessary
• No hard gold plating required on PCB: An advantageous design of spring-loaded center pin/ground contacts
• Swivel-mounted interface protection: Integrated interface protection for assembly not in use
