Are there any conductive diamond interposers for dc-40ghz sockets?

GCI has also developed a mechanical compliant conductive diamond interposer used in DC- 40GHz Design Verification Sockets or as a Board to Board interposer. These unique interposers provide interconnect bandwidth & return loss beyond 40 GHz and mimics a soldered connection.

What do you need to know about diamond logic?

The Diamond Logic ™ electrical system brings added brainpower and integration to your operation with a minimum of wires and connections. The system is completely flexible and expandable — with features and functionality that can easily be added / modified / removed at any time to meet your specific application needs.

Can a GCI plate a conductive diamond on DC?

GCI can plate Conductive Diamonds on DC to >100Ghz instrument probe tips, manual test Probes, TDR Probes, Instrument Scope Probes, High Voltage Probes and Printed Circuit Boards (PCB’s) and other material from most Metals, Glass, Ceramic, FR4, Flex and Kapton Substrates for 3rd party designs.

Which is better GPCD or conductive diamond plating?

The GPCD plating forms a superior, sharp, non-scrubbing multi-point diamond connection system that penetrates highly resistive surface oxide that forms on most metal surface. The GPCD does not wear out and can pierce any contaminants, resists oil and dirt contaminates.

What does it mean to wire a diamond crossing?

The diagram above shows a diamond crossing with isolated routes (which is fairly typical). This means the two routes are totally electrically isolated and you are free to wire them up how you want: Same parallel power district.

Why are there different types of wire connectors?

Made of flame-retardant materials, wire connectors prevent wires from contacting other wires or exposed metal surfaces, which could cause a dangerous fault or short circuit. This guide will explain the different types of wire connectors, so you can feel confident you’re choosing the right connectors for your project.

Why do wire connectors have a clear shell?

The wires push into the connector securely and the clear shell gives visual verification of the connection. It can also make it easier to spot a loose connection when undertaking a repair. The compact size of the connector typically takes up less space in an electrical box.

What kind of reverser do you need for diamond crossings?

Use a DCC Auto Reverser or two DCC Frog Juicers as described above for diamond crossings. For double-slips use the crossing’s turnout motors’ accessory switches to switch the frog polarities as described below (see #Single and Double Slips ).
