0.8 mm Connector System - Coaxial Measurements Up to 165 GHz

SPINNER 0 8mm Connector System Key

Experience Reliable Connectivity Like Never Before!

One of the great challenges in the development of new communication technologies like 6G in the sub-millimeter section such as the D-band frequency range is the flawless and reliable electrical interconnection technology.

Until recently, narrowband rectangular waveguide components were the only option available. Then, the coaxial 0.8 mm connector system (IEC 61169-64) emerged as a standardized solution, eliminating the need for costly plumbing and providing improved bandwidth and measurement capabilities. However, SPINNER goes a step further.

Introducing our revolutionary “solid 0.8 mm” coaxial connector system, offering unmatched precision and performance up to 165 GHz. Our advanced design features a durable solid 0.8 mm interface that ensures damage-free repeated connections while delivering superior electrical characteristics for maximum measurement accuracy.

mmWave Waveguide-to-Coaxial Adapters: Start Testing Faster!

SPINNER mmWave Coax Adapters key

SPINNER mmWave waveguide-to-coaxial adapters for the V, E, W and F bands let you directly connect waveguide-based measurement network topologies to the coaxial ports of VNA or millimeter-wave-range extender modules.

Start testing faster with these new adapters from SPINNER. They save time with ruggedized coaxial interfaces for directly connecting millimeter waveguides to the coaxial ports of mmWave VNAs. Ultralow losses are guaranteed.

In lab environments, you need to have the right interfaces handy: for waveguide-to-coaxial or coaxial-to-waveguide transitions and with male or female coaxial connectors as required. These convenient solutions save time and let you focus on your testing work.

1.35 mm - E Connector

SPINNER E Connector

The Robust Precision Interface for DC to 90 GHz

As the market for millimeter wave sensors for self-driving vehicles expands, the demand for proper RF connections in testing environments is also growing. Reliable coaxial interface connections are crucial for achieving good RF performance, especially in E-band applications. A common frustration in RF laboratories is unwanted unlocking of the 1.00 mm coaxial thread performing time-consuming calibrations. This spawned the idea of a 1.35 mm connector the “E Connector” with a precise metric thread like the 1.85 mm connector plus an integrated time-saving push-pull capability.

SPINNER EasySnake

SPINNER EasySnake performs the function of a flexible dielectric waveguide. However, classic waveguides are typically rigid, which places considerable constraints on the design of test configurations. The SPINNER EasySnake overcomes this by combining the flexibility of a conventional RF test cable with the excellent low-loss transmission characteristics of a conventional waveguide system. It can be flexibly bent and moved in any direction while delivering excellent measurement results.
