National Instruments CP36-SMA18 Spring Pin Cable

The National Instruments CP36-SMA18 Spring Pin Cable is a high-performance cable assembly designed for use with NI Semiconductor Test Systems. This 32-inch cable is designed to deliver high-precision, dependably exacting transmission in demanding applications, especially those found in semiconductor testing and RF systems. The SMA connectors in the CP36-SMA18 ensure quality connections and very strong resistance against the most extreme conditions of an industrial environment.

The SMA connectors used in CP36-SMA18 support frequencies as high as 18 GHz, making it ideal in situations where there is a need to transfer higher frequency signals. The 50-ohm impedance found on these connectors works towards minimum loss and also ensures optimal signal integrity. The CP36-SMA18 is tailor-made for precision and efficiency applications due to its maximum working voltage at 335V and an insertion loss of ≤ 0.15 dB, inclusive of semiconductor validation and RF component testing.

The CP36-SMA18 features spring pin technologies that provide better reliability and improved connectivity in repeat testing, enabling designers to integrate the assemblies into automated test equipment and other industrial systems which require consistencies in performance. By using the CP36-SMA18, test engineers will realize accurate results in an atmosphere where signal fidelity is called for.

The CP36-SMA18 is RoHS-compliant and is illustrative of National Instruments' effort toward making its products more ecologically sensitive. On that count, it means the cable assembly meets the modern demands of industry while providing very good levels of performance. The typical applications of the CP36-SMA18 are very high-frequency electronic device testings such as integrated circuits and RF modules. Applications of measurement with precision do count on these cables for minimum signal interference.
