At Global Industrie 2024 (stand 5 W63), Cotelec announces the exclusive marketing in France of the new HF60 series high-frequency test probes developed by its partner, Feinmetall.
This range of high-frequency coaxial test probes up to 8 GHz, developed for the development of electronic products using RF/HF links, guarantees complete coaxial link testing and perfect electrical signal integrity.
The HF60 range of coaxial test probes can be used to contact a variety of standard HF connectors and HF sockets, from large Fakra or HSD connectors to small SMD-mounted switch connectors, SMA, SMB and SMC connectors. These tips are also used to make direct contact with PCBs.
Available in several versions (4 Ghz, 5 Ghz, 6 Ghz and 8 Ghz) designed for testing and signal transmission, the new HF60 coaxial tips benefit from a receptacle that's both flexible and perfectly compatible (floating attachment). If the component to be tested is offset, the receptacle allows a slight 360-degree deflection of the tip towards it. In this way, the offset is balanced out without damage to parts. When not in contact, the HF tip is returned to its initial position.
Various mounting options are available for this new HF60 series to suit all configurations. Some tips can be screwed directly into the mounting plate by means of a thread, while other versions can be adjusted by a flange and screwed onto the mounting plate. This allows an oscillation function to better grip the component under test in order to contact it. The mounting hole must be sized accordingly if oscillation of the test tip is required in the desired application.
The new HF60 coaxial tips feature an oscillation function in combination with probe flange mounting. This makes it possible to compensate for misalignment between the component (DUT) and the probe. Other advantages include high pointing accuracy, reduced DUT force, easy assembly and rapid replacement.
A wide range of HF probes for a variety of applications
To suit a variety of applications in the telecoms, consumer electronics and automotive industries, Feimetall offers HF60 high-frequency probes in different versions (4 Ghz, 5 Ghz, 6 Ghz and 8 Ghz) to contact the many types of connectors used for signal transmission.
With this new series of HF coaxial test probes, Cotelec meets the connector testing needs of manufacturers in a wide range of industrial sectors, including automotive and consumer electronics: industry (probes used in a wide variety of industries for commercially available standard coaxial connectors such as: PME, MAQ, BMA, RF, CNC, SMP, etc.); automotive: (solutions for H-MTD, HFM, Mateax, Matenet, Fakra, HSD, etc.); 5G / consumer: (solutions for small connectors, switch connectors, etc.).); automotive: (solutions for H-MTD, HFM, Mateax, Matenet, Fakra, HSD, etc.); 5G / consumer: (solutions for small connectors, switch connectors, pad connections, etc.).
