The ACP Connector

What is the ACP Connector?

Designed for use with the 047 Semi Rigid cable, the ACP is unique as it is the first commercially available coaxial connector to utilize a butt splice electrical interconnect at high frequency. This approach provides disruptive speed and low loss and low compression force.

Quarter Section

The ACP connector upgrades the industry standard “pin and socket” type interconnect with a solderless, compression fit, butt splice interconnect.

This interconnect is similar in function to those used in Integrated Circuit (IC) socket designs. We call this component the “Interposer”.

Why Choose the ACP?

Fast Risetime
High Frequency Bandwidth
Low Loss
High Density (Ø9.91mm x 4.57mm footprint)
Long Cycle Life
Low Compression Force (Protecting the board from damage during installation)
Fully Solderless, reusable and field replaceable PCB compression contact (Both PCB and Cable attachment do not require soldering)
Mechanical Mating bodies can be fabricated from a wide range of materials. (Including polymers for weight sensitive applications)
Unique moisture sealing properties (Grease can be applied directly to the electrical interface surface and still function)
