Carlisle RFHDI - High density cable interfaces for RF

 

HDRFI® is a patented Carlisle Interconnect Technologies connection system that transfers high frequency signals through a unique planar interface allowing high density of interconnects.

HDRFI This planar interface removes the need for typical pin and socket connections by utilizing a z-axis elastomer to provide the electrical path between the mated connectors. The elastomer is made up of silicone, impregnated with gold plated stainless steel wires and is arranged on a .035mm pitch. When compressed by the mating halves, the gold plated wires mechanically connect the two planar surfaces and creates an electrical EMI barrier to provide excellent isolation.

HDRFI® is available only as an assembly in three product line offerings:

D-Sub, RF Circular and custom applications.

Truely unique benifits:

 

• High Bandwidth
• High Density
• Small Form Factor
• Centre to Centre spacing 0.130"
• Eliminates Stubbing
• Alignment of the connector is not made through the RF path
• Can be used differentially or single ended
• No centre pin connector wear
