POLYLINK Polymer-Plated Interconnect For Enhanced RF Links

Source: Corning Incorporated
Corning - POLYLINK_2

The radiofrequency and microwave connectivity industry’s first gold-plated plastic microwave connector, POLYLINK, is a lighter and more cost-advantaged solution for applications up to 26.5 GHz. 

POLYLINK provides a reliable alternative to Corning’s metalized beryllium-copper based push-on interconnect solutions (GPO®, GPPO®, G3PO™, and G4PO™), with compatible interfaces, faster production/lead time, and demonstrated performance. When every gram of payload counts and cost efficiency becomes a priority, POLYLINK can help solve tough connectivity challenges.

Low Cost, Light Weight, And Short Lead Time

  • Up to 33% lighter at a lower cost than similarly sized Corning metal blindmate interconnects.

  • Allows axial compression of the blindmate interconnect (withstand up to .005 axial compression).

  • Demonstrated reliable blindmate interconnect performance for low-tomedium frequencies (up to 26.5 GHz) and ideal for single-use applications.

Applications

  • Telecommunications, 5G, and high frequency commercial networks
  • Aerospace and defense industries
  • Automotive radar/sensing systems
  • Weight-sensitive applications
