Samtec AFI floating interface system

Friday, 12 October, 2012 | Supplied by: Samtec USA


Samtec’s AFI floating interface system offers misalignment compensation in RF applications. This system is suited for military, aerospace, cable modem termination systems, internet and telecommunication applications, as well as being a solution to overcome packaging design issues.

The AFI Floating Interface (AFI Series) is a three-piece system that allows for maximum misalignment compensation of up to 0.80 mm radial and 1.00 mm axial float. The floating bullet adapter creates a flexible link between two AFI jacks in PCB stacking or motherboard expansion applications. This system is designed for DC to 6 GHz performance with 50 Ω impedance.

The PCB-mounted jack features mixed technology termination for increased stability on the board, as well as cost-effective gold flash plating. The bullet adapter plug is available in a standard 9.14 mm in length. Due to the 1.00 mm axial float, standard stack height for the system ranges from 27.8 mm fully mated to 28.8 mm when floating. Additional plating options are available. Samtec’s AFI Series is a second source to Amphenol RF AFI interconnects.
