Relay Bases
Cambion® offers an extensive range of pluggable Relay Bases predominately for Air and Rail applications. The range incorporates innovative design features to assist excellent termination to the PCB.
Main Features
- To suit round pin format relays
- Available with mounting hardware to firmly secure to the PCB
- Also available with or without mounting ears for optimum location possibilities
- The Relay Base sockets incorporate solder reliefs to ensure a sound solder fillet when fixed to the PCB
- Bases are moulded from high temperature plastic; suitable for lead-free solder processes
- The Relay Base ensures correct contact pitch
- Relay Base sockets can be either solder mount or press-fit
- Designed to meet all relevant specifications
- RoHS Compliant
Materials

Direct-insertion Pins for High- or Low-current DC-DC Converters
Polygon press-fit pins from Cambion Electronics and Charcroft allow direct insertion into plated through-holes (PTH) without damage to the PCB. All pins are RoHS compliant, with Brass pins for low-current applications, or Tellurium Copper for higher currents, typically over 50A. The pins are reflow soldered as part of the standard surface-mount process. Options include vented shoulders for complete solder-fill of the PTH to eliminate voids and Gold plating for optimum reliability with lead-free processes.
Solderless RF Connector
A new range of RF connectors from Cambion Electronics, designed principally to be used in conjunction with semi rigid cable, uses a solderless mating process, saving time and cutting costs. During assembly, prepared semi rigid cable is plugged into the RF connector and an integral locking cap is screwed down, closing the teeth of an inner insert, providing a strain-relieved, solderless joint.More, no special tooling is required to effect a quick, pluggable termination.
These low insertion force RF connectors are available in standard SMA, SMB, MMCX and N footprints. Alternatively, Cambion Electronics has invested in state of the art fabrication tooling, so RF connectors and converters can be customised to suit a specific application.
