These connectors are typically used as a pair or set which is comprised of two connector subassemblies that have a common mating interface. Generally, a pair contains one floating blind-mate Interface with spring loaded inner/outer contacts and the other is a fixed blind-mate interface with fixed inner/outer contacts.

 

The Planar Blind-mate series provides threadless connector mating which is useful when mating an array of connectors on one RF module to another array within seconds. Each connector pair will tolerate typically 0.02 per pair radial and axial offset misalignment and still meet all of its electrical specifications.

 

Most Aeroflex / Weinschel Planar Blind-mates designs conveniently mount on any panel using a standard panel D-hole or most any standardized hole pattern. Extra heavy construction for long life even with mistreatment makes these blind-mate products suitable for panel use.

Other Features

• Lower Cost Design - Model 7041 (New) offers a lower cost design with improved insertion loss and SWR specifications for applications up to 18 GHz.
• Pressurized Designs - Model 7008 is equipped with a flange arrangement designed to withstand 1000 PSI of hydrostatic pressure. This model can be mated with another 7008 or any 7034 or 7035 series Planar Blind-mate.
• Rear Locking - Models 7034 & 7034-1 are beneficial in applications where there is easy access to the front of the connector for holding while the cable and connector is added or removed. Rotation is also prevented if the connector front is inserted in a slot which could allow for easier cable and connector assembly installation.
• Front Locking - Models 7035, 7035-1, 7035R & 7035R-1 are beneficial in applications where the cable and connector will be inserted as an assembly into a panel or connector module from the rear.
• Custom Configurations - Other types of Planar Blind-mate connectors such as SMA, 3.5mm, flange, microstrip/pc broad mount launch, test probes, arrays or interface subsystems can be designed for your particular application.
