Multipin-/Multiport-Cable Assemblies

The Problem: In various applications many coaxial microwave links have to beconnected and disconnected. This means threading and unthreading, torquing anduntorquing. Very dense packaging is not possible, as there is still room needed for
manual threading and for the use of a torque wrench. All connectors in helicoptersand aircrafts usually have to be safely secured, e.g. by wiring the coupling nuts ofthe connectors, using wire holes, a time-consuming process. Threading and torquing,unthreading and untorquing 24 connections, a time consuming process, and lots ofspace is needed.

The Solution: Spectrum’s Multipin Connectors are available with four (4), seven(7), eight (8), ten (10), twelve (12) and twenty-three (23) coaxial inserts (terminating the coaxial cable assemblies) at the Multipin end, connecting all the coaxial
cable assemblies at once and in seconds with no need of a torque wrench, no needfor safety wires and using minimum space.

The traditional RF Multipin Connector SQ-8, per MIL-DTL-38999, Series III

RF Multipin Connectors BQ- & CQ- Series, per MIL-DTL-38999, Series I

The traditional model is the SQ-8 Multipin Connector using thecircular size 21 shell per MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, supplied witheight (8) coaxial microwave inserts, terminating always one endof each cable assembly. As the inserts are spring loaded and use abayonet catch, the cable assemblies can be inserted and replaced
in seconds. The inserts were designed for Spectrum’s Type 11 andType 43 cables. The SQ-8 does not mate with the TQ-, IQ-, BQ or
CQ-Series.

The new BQ-Series Multipin Connectors are almost identical with
the TQ-Series. The only diﬀerence is in the shell. The BQ-Series
do use the Bayonet catch shell per MIL-DTL-38999 Series I instead of the thread on shell per MIL-DTL-38999 Series III.

RF Multipin Connectors TQ- & IQ- Series, per MIL-DTL-38999, Series III

The new CQ-Series Multipin Connectors are almost identical with
the BQ-Series, having one major diﬀerence: The outer conductorof the coaxial cable assemblies and the connector shell per MILDTL-38999 series 1 are not using the same ground. The coaxial
lines can be guided in a metal hose, net mesh or armor, connected tothe shells for lightening protection. TQ-,IQ-, BQ-, and CQ-Seriesmate with each other.

The new TQ-Series Multipin Connectors are using the circular size
21 shell per MIL-DTL-38999 Series III with four (4) or eight (8)inserts and size 25 with seven (7), ten (10) or twelve (12) inserts allowing the use of four diﬀerent cables, Type 11, Type 43, Type 100
and Type 141, depending on ﬂexibility and/or loss needed.

The new IQ-Series Multipin Connectors are almost identical with
the TQ-series, with one major diﬀerence: The outer conductorsof the coaxial lines and the connector shell do not use the sameground. So the coaxial lines can be guided in a metal hose, netmesh
or armor, for lightening protection. TQ- and IQ-Series do mate witheach other.

The RQ- Multiport Connectors are using a rectangular shells, developedby Spectrum Elektrotechnik GmbH, allowing dense packaging. The operating frequency depends on the inserts for frequencies to 65 GHz.
Details can be seen at pages 54 to 67
The RQ23-DC26 is employing twenty-three (23) coaxial cable
assemblies plus twenty-six (26) signal lines in one connector
and has been qualiﬁed in an airborne program. Coaxial cableof Type 11 and/or Type 43 and AWG20 wire for the lower frequency signals or supplies are being used. It can be modiﬁed
for other coaxial cables.

This RQ-8 design is using 8 coaxial
connectors in-line in a very narrow
package (7mm).

The most dense packaging everproposed for a program, 80 coaxial
connections and 120 signal lines.

SQ-8 Multiport Assemblies

SQ-8 Multiport Assemblies

The cross section view demonstrates the perfect engineering that has lead to the success of the SQ-8: Every cable
assembly terminated with an SQ-8 Insert can be replaced in minimum time by simply engaging/disengaging abayonet catch. The inserts are spring loaded for blind mating / self alignment purposes. The outer conductor of
the female insert protrudes above the reference plane of the SQ-8. During the mating process the female outerconductors will catch ﬁrst the mating plane, align all eight female outer conductors prior to capturing andaligning the male outer conductors, before the center conductors will even come close to their mating positions.

Note: The dimensions of Shell size 15, do not meet completely the dimensions, as requested
by MIL-DTL-38999. The customer, who requested initially the product to be designed forhis program, insisted on some minor changes, and named it Size "13" originally. As othercustomers did not mind the dimensional diﬀerences, we stuck with them, but we decided tochange the shell size to 15, not 13 anymore. But some of the dimensions are smaller thenrequested by the oﬃcial Norm. Please refer to the table for the dimensions.

Rectangular Multiports

The RQ- Multiport Connectors are using rectangular shells, developedby Spectrum Elektrotechnik GmbH, allowing dense packaging. The operating frequency depends on the inserts used, operating up to 65 GHz.
Details can be seen on pages 56 to 67
The RQ23-DC26 is employing twenty-three (23) coaxial
cable assemblies plus twenty-six (26) signal lines in one
connector and has been qualiﬁed in an airborne program.
Coaxial cable of Type 11 and/or Type 43 and AWG20 wire
for the lower frequency signals or supplies are being used.
It can be modiﬁed for other coaxial cables.

This RQ-8 design is using 8 coaxial
connectors in-line in a very narrow
package (7mm).

The most dense packaging everproposed for a program, 80 coaxial
connections and 120 signal lines.

Rectangular Multiport Assemblies

Update 2022-08-12

Rectangular Multiport Assemblies
For certain applications even the coaxial connections of our circular TQ- and IQor CQ- and BQ- Series were too little, plus there was a need for DC signal anddriver signals, challenging Spectrum to design a Multi COAX/DC Connector,
the SR23-DC26, connecting and disconnecting 23 coaxial RF lines and 26 signal
and supply lines at once and in seconds, and by using the smallest possible size forthis complex design. The male coaxial insert is a modiﬁed version of our successful SMA Push-On for lower insertion force and withdrawal force, as we are specifying 150N maximum in total for the insertion and withdrawal of all 23 coaxial
lines plus the 26 signal and supply lines. The female coax inserts terminating thecable use the standard SMA female interface, mating with any standard SMA
male connector, while the male SMA Push-Ons mate with any standard SMA
female connector by just being pushed on, instead of threadening and torquing.
Using the standard SMA connector styles ensures that existing test cables terminated with SMA connectors can be used during testing.
With 23 coaxial cable assemblies there is a good chance that one, or even several
may be damaged at some time and need to be replaced. Therefore the connectors
were designed such that any of the coaxial cable assemblies can be replaced in avery short time by just taking out the proper mounting bolt, holding the coaxial
inserts in groups of 4 or 8 in place, and replacing the assembly or assemblies andinserting and securing the mounting bolt again. The maximum operating frequency of the design to the left is guaranteed to 25 GHz when using the cable of Types

Several modern systems require phase match of the cable assemblies of a harness.
Spectrum is using utmost cable manufacturing, interface cutting techniques andadvanced adjustable connector designs meeting almost any requirement a customer may have for phase match among the assemblies.
Selecting the proper materials and aging techniques in well deﬁned processes is
an important parameter as well to make cable assemblies and harnesses to operate
in temperature ranges of minus 54°C to plus 115°C as standard. Spectrum oﬀers
also extended temperature ranges from minus 72° C to plus 200°C. All connectors
are RoHS compliant and meet the condition and corrosion requirement to MILSTD-202, method 101, condition B. The Connector series are compliant to thermal
shock to MIL-STD-202, method 107, condition B, vibration to MIL-STD-202,
method 204, condition D, and shock to MIL-STD-202, method 213.

The Inserts

The Inserts

What is an Insert and where is it used?
We call the little connector that is located in the Multiport and terminated to thecable the "Insert", or "Insert-Connector".
The Inserts and speciﬁcations are shown on the following pages:
1) The standard Q24 Insert, is used in most applications with the
MIL-DTL-38999 shells, usually of sizes 21 and 25 and in the frequency
range of DC to 24.0 GHz. Already the traditional SQ-Series are using
this unit. The Inserts are available in diﬀerent versions, spring loaded,limited spring loaded, ﬁxed and pressurized.
2) The standard Q40 Insert, is used in most applications with the
MIL-DTL-38999 shells, usually of sizes 21 and 25 and in the frequency
range of DC to 40.0 GHz. The Inserts are also available in diﬀerent
versions, spring loaded, limited spring loaded, ﬁxed and pressurized.
3) The Push-On SMA male, together with the standard SMA female, as
used in the rectangular Multiport RQ23-DC26.
The reason for using this connector conﬁguration was the customer
request that a standard series connector had to be used for best test
application with his standard SMA test cables he wanted to have inplace.
3) The SMP connector, used in some special Multiports.
4) The SMPM connector, as used in the TQ-09 and the TQ-19 of the
MIL-DTL- 38999 Size 13 and Size 25 shell. 9 cable assemblies were to
be hooked up in the small shell of size 13, and 19 cable assemblies inthe size 25 shell.
