2.92mm solderless PCB connectors support high-frequency stripline and microstrip applications with performance to 40GHz. Available as vertical PCB jacks, the connectors use a threaded interface to eliminate solder joint variability and maintain consistent connector-to-PCB contact. The design supports impedance control across different PCB stackups while allowing installation, removal and reuse during prototyping and validation. Constructed with passivated stainless steel bodies, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and ULTEM insulators, the connectors target microwave, millimeter-wave, test and measurement, aerospace, defense and advanced communications applications.

TNC Series thick-film NTC thermistors provide temperature sensing and monitoring for automotive, industrial, battery management and medical electronics applications. Available in 0402, 0603 and 0805 case sizes, the series offers resistance values from 50Ω to 500kΩ, B values from 2410K to 4700K, and operating temperatures up to 150°C. Devices use thick-film technology to improve mechanical strength, maintain consistent thickness across resistance values and enhance resistance to cracking compared with multilayer thermistors. Components feature strong solderability, fast thermal response, heat resistance and AEC-Q200 qualification for demanding environments.
