Inspection tools
1. SI Test Boards
SI test boards (Signal Integrity Test Board) are for evaluating the transmission characteristics of connectors and harnesses.
The SI test board enables measurement of overall signal integrity characteristics, including high‑speed signal routing on the PCB. By accurately evaluating key SI metrics such as insertion loss, return loss, VSWR, and crosstalk, it can be effectively used for performance verification and design optimization.
2. MHF® Series Adapters
Inspection adapters are essential for verifying that products are properly set and ready to deliver optimal performance in their applications.
These tools are available for both plug and receptacle configurations.
