Cable Assembly · RF Cable Assembly
RF Cable Assembly: Engineered To IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3.
RF Cable Assembly programs built on the Cavite floor — UFLPA input-traceability support; Philippine origin outside the China-specific Section 301 tariffs, IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 acceptance by default. Send the drawing or part number and we will reply with unit price, lead time, and a sample plan inside 12 hours.
Buyer Reality
Where Most rf cable assembly Programs Slip.
Issue #01
Temperature changes affect phase stability
RF cable selection should account for operating temperature and the required signal performance.
Issue #02
Microporous PTFE dielectric crushes at min bend radius
Test engineers pull cables to 4× OD min-bend; microporous PTFE collapses and impedance walks 6 Ω. We bend-qualify each cable family on a fixture per IEC 61196-1-314 and publish min static / dynamic radius on the assembly cert.
Issue #03
Connector-cable salt-spray attack on plated brass at 96 h
Standard nickel-plated brass SMA bodies pit through 96 h salt spray, lifting the gold-plate centre pin out of contact. We spec passivated stainless 303 bodies with 50 µin gold per IEC 60068-2-52 Kb method.
Issue #04
Pulse rise-time shoulder past 35 ps on test-bench cables
Long radar test-bench leads add a 50 ps shoulder on a 25 ps step. Our matched 26 GHz armoured assemblies hold ≤ 35 ps rise time edge-to-edge, characterised on a Tek DSA8300 TDR with archived eye traces.
Issue #05
Triaxial leakage > -90 dB at 1 GHz on EMC chamber leads
Single-shield coax leaks the chamber floor up at 1 GHz. We build triaxial assemblies with double-braid + foil holding ≤ -110 dB shielding effectiveness on the GTEM bench.
What We Build
The Capability Stack Behind The Build.
RF cable material review
Review dielectric materials and supplier data against the application requirements before approving the cable.
Triaxial double-shield builds
Foil + braid + isolating jacket + outer braid stack with 360 ° connector bonding. Shielding effectiveness verified on GTEM cell to ≤ -110 dB through 6 GHz.
26 GHz / 40 GHz VNA characterisation per lot
R&S ZNB40 VNA bay for >18 GHz programs. S-parameters captured per assembly against drawing limits, certificate stamped against IPC/WHMA-A-620 §10.7 acceptance.
Min-bend-radius bend cycler per IEC 61196-1-314
Fixture bends every cable family to its drawing call-out 1,000 cycles before NPI release. Pre/post VSWR delta logged per family.
Outdoor connector material selection
Choose connector shell materials and finishes to suit the specified exposure conditions.
