Amphenol / SV Microwave FeatherMate Evaluation Kit

Amphenol / SV Microwave FeatherMate Evaluation Kit is a high-speed, high-density cable solution that includes everything required to test the connector and PCB launch. The Kit includes a 4-port FeatherMate connector to 4x 2.92mm (SVK) male 6.0" ø.047 cable assemblies, a printed circuit board with FeatherMate hardware and 4x female 2.92mm (SVK) edge launch connectors, hex tool for installation/removal, and a USB drive with application specifications. The FeatherMate Kit offers solder-free installation (no tools required) and keying eliminates mismating. The kit is ideal for high density, low-force applications, bench-top testing, and automated test equipment (ATP).
