Mouser, Fairview Microwave ink global pact

Mouser Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with and microwave component manufacturer, Fairview Microwave.

The company’s portfolio includes cable assemblies and connectors, amplifiers and oscillators, tools and test equipment, and more. Its products serve a wide range of industries, including communications, medical, energy, transportation, and factory automation.

The Fairview Microwave SMA Male to SMA Male Cables, now available from Mouser, come in various options, including HS086, FM-F086, RG-223, and RG-402AL. Their flexible design makes these cables well-suited for applications that require tight bends and continual flexure. Specifications include 50Ω impedance, a maximum frequency of 18GHz, and a maximum VSWR of 1.35:1 or 1.5:1.

The SMA Fixed Torque Wrenches are available in several sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for any project. These torque wrenches are designed for continuous use and feature a unique design that allows them to internally slip once the preset torque value is reached, eliminating the risk of overtightening the connector coupling nut.

Fairview’s Inner and Outer DC Blocks offer frequency ratings up to 23GHz, 50Ω impedance, and an operating voltage up to 200V. These blocks feature an SMA or N connector and have an inner or outer conductor that offers good insertion loss. Commonly used to filter out unwanted DC signals, these DC blocks allow AC drive signals to pass through, improving the overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Precision 2.92mm adapters are offered in female-to-female, female-to-male, and male-to-male configurations. These adapters operate at 40GHz and can be used as connector savers to extend equipment life. RF adapters enable connections between two connector types that would otherwise not mate, and they protect connectors on expensive equipment where connect and disconnect cycles are high. These adapters are made of passivated stainless steel with gold-plated beryllium copper contacts.
