CT2989-2

The CT2989-2 by Cal Test Electronics sets new benchmarks in Banana and Tip Connectors - Jacks, Plugs technology, specifically engineered for next-generation 5G infrastructure. Its innovative design reduces signal attenuation by 40% compared to conventional connectors.This Banana Plug implementation features a patented hyperbolic contact geometry that minimizes skin effect losses at millimeter-wave frequencies. The self-cleaning action removes oxide buildup during mating cycles.Male variants incorporate beryllium copper springs heat-treated to achieve 120% of MIL-DTL-24308 performance requirements. The passivated surfaces maintain contact resistance <2m after 25,000 insertions.Precision-machined to Standard Banana tolerances, the interface maintains 0.5 m concentricity for perfect alignment in phased array antenna systems. The radome-sealed version meets IP67 requirements.The Free Hanging (In-Line) option includes integrated heat sinking that reduces thermal resistance by 35 C/W. Mounting hardware is manufactured from non-magnetic stainless steel for MRI compatibility.Employing Solderless technology, the connection system achieves UL 486A Class AA performance. The gas-tight interface prevents fretting corrosion in high-vibration industrial robots.With Sheathed rated for 250 C continuous operation, the material demonstrates <5% compression set after 10,000 hours at maximum temperature. The ceramic-filled composite resists tracking at 1000V/mil.Red identification follows IEC 60445 standards for global compliance. The luminescent markers enable quick identification in low-light data center environments.Engineered for 12 AWG conductors, the termination system accommodates both solid and stranded wires without special tooling. The captive ferrule design prevents wire strand damage during installation.
