Open the catalog to page 4The Times Qualified MILTECH family of hermetically sealed flexible RF and microwave transmission line assemblies are optimized and qualified for commercial, military and other demanding applications. The proprietary application of a spiral flat strip braid results in a cable assembly with superior phase coaxial cables without sacrificing flexibility! There are now three versions of the popular MILTECH 340 cable, all providing the same electrical performance, but allowing a choice of cable weights - ideal for applications where both low loss and reduced weight are required. These MILTECH...
Open the catalog to page 5Assembly Performance Overview Electrical characteristics – All of the cable assembly styles noted above provide low loss, low VSWR and inherently stable performance. These sealed transmission line products provide the longest service life available. Mechanical characteristics – The cable assemblies are designed, manufactured and tested to provide reliable interconnections in the most demanding installations and environments. This unparalleled combination of bending, torque and tensile strengths guarantee a long service life. Insertion loss - Following is a graph of loss vs. frequency for...
Open the catalog to page 6INSERTION LOSS The following graph illustrates the cable insertion loss for each MILTECH cable at specific frequencies. The insertion loss at intermediate frequencies can be calculated from the formula below for each cable type. The loss for each pair of connectors must be added to the overall cable loss to determine the insertion loss for the complete cable assembly. 0.500 NOTE: See page 19 for 40 GHz Products Insertion Loss - dB per foot Insertion Loss - dB per meter Insertion loss at intermediate frequencies can be calculated as follows: IL = K1 x SqRt(FMHz) + 0.000146 x (FMHz) dB per...
Open the catalog to page 7POWER HANDLING The power handling values shown here apply to complete MILTECH assemblies with TNC connectors, based on a maximum assembly component temperature of 200OC. Figures 1 and 2 below illustrate the average power handling capability of the cable at 25O C/sea level and at 100OC/70,000 ft. MILTECH assemblies may be used at higher power levels if required, however, high ambient temperature and high altitude reduce the power rating of a particular cable by impeding the heat transfer out of the cable. The CW power rating must be derated by a correction factor for the ambient temperature...
Open the catalog to page 8MILTECH cable assemblies consist of a MILTECH cable terminated with specially designed and fabricated connectors. TIMES MICROWAVE SYSTEMS manufactures a complete line of connectors to complement the MILTECH coaxial cables. The completed assemblies are available with either non-replaceable or replaceable connectors. The replaceable feature allows a damaged front end interface to be quickly replaced in the field without the need to remove the complete transmission line. All connector interfaces are designed to comply with various requirements of MIL-STD-348, MIL-PRF-39012, MIL-C-87104, OR...

Open the catalog to page 15SELF LOCKING CONNECTORS TIMES MICROWAVE SYSTEMS has been a pioneer in the development of self-locking connectors for high performance connectors used in the aerospace industry. Originally developed for the USAF F-15 Program, the self-locking feature eliminates the need for expensive torque wrenches and makes the mating connection a simple, one hand operation! The self-locking feature eliminates the need for time consuming safety wire connectors, yet they provide positive engagement during vibration. All interfaces comply with MIL-PRF-39012 and the connectors are made from the same high...
