63818-1

The 63818-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors establishes new performance standards in Terminals - Magnetic Wire Connectors for test and measurement equipment. Precision-engineered with air dielectric technology, this connector maintains VSWR <1.05 up to 67GHz, making it indispensable for 5G NR device testing and millimeter-wave research.The 187 configuration features precision APC-7 interface compatibility with 0.1dB repeatability. When compared to conventional SMA connectors, this design demonstrates 10x better phase stability during thermal cycling.Featuring Box IDC technology, the contacts use beryllium copper with proprietary surface treatment that minimizes passive intermodulation (PIM). Testing shows <-170dBc PIM performance even after 5000 mating cycles.Manufactured to 1 tolerances, the connector achieves /20 phase matching at 40GHz. The ultra-precision machining ensures consistent performance across calibration laboratory environments.Optimized for PCB Post in metrology applications, the connector features torque-limiting interfaces that prevent over-tightening. This design maintains NIST-traceable accuracy through 10,000 connection cycles.Compatible with 28-30 AWG semi-rigid cables, the connector supports both fundamental mode propagation and higher-order mode studies. The gas-tight interface prevents moisture ingress in environmental chambers.
