53660-4

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 53660-4 delivers unprecedented performance in Terminals - Foil Connectors for terahertz imaging systems. This millimeter-wave optimized component provides 0.1dB insertion loss up to 1THz, enabling breakthrough applications in security scanning and medical diagnostics. The 53660-4 incorporates photonic bandgap structures for exceptional signal purity in the sub-millimeter spectrum.Featuring Barrel, Tap configuration, this connector achieves 70 m alignment accuracy for waveguide interfaces. The diamond-turned contact surfaces maintain surface roughness below 10nm RMS for minimal scattering loss.The 0.623" x 0.625" (15.82mm x 15.88mm) bonding surface employs quantum-well layered materials for optimal RF performance. Electron-beam welded joints create discontinuity-free transitions with VSWR <1.05 up to 1THz.With 1.197" (30.40mm) precision dimensions, this terminal enables /100 phase stability in array antennas. The monolithic construction eliminates intermodulation products that could degrade dynamic range in sensitive receivers.Engineered for 8 AWG superconducting nanowires, this terminal provides impedance-matched transitions to kinetic inductance detectors. The non-contacting waveguide design prevents quasiparticle generation in bolometric applications.The Tin surface treatment utilizes graphene-enhanced plating for exceptional conductivity at terahertz frequencies. This revolutionary coating provides <0.01 /sq sheet resistance while maintaining chemical inertness.
