Mouser Signs Global Distribution Agreement With Amphenol CDI

Mouser Electronics announced that it has signed a new global distribution agreement with Amphenol CDI. Under the agreement, Amphenol CDI products will now be available through Mouser's distribution network.

Available items include Amphenol CDI's rugged RF connectors, high-performance RF cable assemblies, and aerospace interconnect solutions. Mouser Electronics said it can now supply these product lines.

Mouser Electronics said Amphenol CDI's defense-grade RF connectors are designed to optimize package density in limited spaces and also to meet stringent industry standards. The company added that the connectors help engineers minimize overall system complexity and improve electrical performance.

Amphenol CDI's defense-grade RF connectors are highly durable and offer excellent tolerance to radial and axial misalignment. Mouser Electronics also said they provide reliable blind-mate performance.

The connectors were developed according to design criteria that emphasize durability and reliability, and they are designed to maintain signal integrity through frequent mating cycles. They are also designed to deliver stable performance in demanding defense and aerospace environments.

Amphenol CDI's swept right-angle RF connectors are used in high-frequency applications that require low loss and high signal integrity. Their right-angle design helps simplify cable routing and ensures dependable RF connections in critical designs.

The main applications for these connectors are aerospace, defense, space, and industrial platforms. In these platforms, durability and signal integrity are essential requirements.

Amphenol CDI's defense-grade RF cable assemblies can replace conventional semi-rigid coaxial solutions. The products provide a similar level of electrical performance while offering superior installation flexibility.

The cable assemblies are used in high-density RF and microwave systems, and their formability helps maintain signal integrity. These characteristics also make it easier to wire enclosures and connect external equipment.

The products consist of a tinned copper braid, a durable inner foil layer, a precisely designed dielectric, and a center conductor. They also use a formable outer material, allowing them to bend with a small bend radius while maintaining excellent shape retention.

This structure and performance make rapid and efficient installation possible in the field. Based on their formable structure, materials, and internal design, the cable assemblies help preserve signal quality while improving ease of wiring in tight spaces and making external connections more convenient.

Amphenol CDI's precision RF adapters support up to 110 GHz and are applied in demanding RF environments based on low insertion loss and stable performance. Engineers can choose from solder-mount and field-replaceable versions, as well as a range of interfaces and mounting options.

The adapter body is available in edge-launch, vertical, angled, and narrow-body configurations. This supports smooth RF transitions and efficient system integration, while also helping optimize PCB layouts and signal paths.

The company said it achieved robust durability by applying a precision structure and an impedance-controlled design, and that this ensures consistent operation across a range of high-frequency applications. In particular, it said the products ensure consistent operation in high-frequency applications for aerospace systems, semiconductor test equipment, and advanced instrumentation.
