Surface-mount design 12G-SDI BNC right angled connectors for broadcast and vision

Cambridge Electronic Industries, a specialist supplier to the broadcast and vision industry, has unveiled the first product of a brand new SMT design - a 12GHz right angled BNC connector that can be placed directly onto a PCB in rapid assembly and volume production.

As bandwidths increase to carry 4K, Quad HD and Ultra HD video, so does the demand for coaxial connectors that are optimised to deliver a 12GHz channel in one single connection. These latest coaxial connectors have been designed with great precision and low loss, for broadcast and high speed video applications where there is a very high throughput of data.

Cambridge Electronic Industries’ new BNC connector, part no C-SX-174, is a right-angled surface mount connector, patent pending, suitable for the automated placement techniques used in high volume manufacturing. Its design has evolved from the company’s 12G-SDI connector C-SX-165, which requires a more traditional manufacturing process.

Cambridge Electronic Industries is an established supplier to the broadcast sector globally, providing cables and cable assemblies to major manufacturers of professional broadcast and machine vision equipment.
