The standard RF connector product range from Intelliconnect includes the general purpose design N Series medium size connector. The N Series features a gasket for weatherproof operations. They operate up to 12GHz and can withstand rugged environmental conditions. This series can accommodate various coaxial cables, PCB, flange and bulkhead configurations.

The SMA Series miniature connector family is designed to be compatible with the small semi-rigid cables that have very low VSWR at high frequencies. In addition, other connectors in the series can accommodate flexible coaxial cable, PCB, flange, surface, edge and bulkhead configurations.

The medium size TNC Series are lightweight connectors with a weatherproof screw locking mechanism and may be used with small and medium size cables. The TNC series also accommodates various PCB, flange and bulkhead configurations and are generally used in applications up to 12 GHz.

The BMA series miniature connector series is designed to be compatible with the small semi-rigid cables that have very low VSWR up to 22 GHz. In addition, other connectors in the series can accommodate flexible coaxial cable, PCB, flange, surface and bulkhead configurations. These connectors are ideal for use in rack and panel applications and MIL versions are available.

Another miniature connector series is the SMB, this miniature connector series is designed to be compatible with the small semi-rigid and flexible cables such as RG316, RG174 and RG196. In addition, other connectors in the series can accommodate PCB, surface, edge and bulkhead configurations. This series is designed with a snap on mechanism. They are mated and unmated by a straight pull which makes them useful in areas that are inaccessible to normal mating action. The plugs have female contacts while the jacks have male contacts.

For the cellular telephone, information systems and communications markets the micro miniature size MCX connector series is an excellent design where weight and space are at a premium. This connector series has a quick snap-on locking mechanism. The MCX series is used with small, semi-rigid and flexible cables. These connectors can also accommodate various PCB, bulkhead, surface, edge, and press fit mount configurations.

Another standard coaxial range is the C Series general purpose medium size connector range that has a weatherproof bayonet locking mechanism. The C Series compliments the N-Type series by offering the same size fitting for the same cable groups. They are generally used in applications up to 11GHz.

The final two standard product ranges available from Intelliconnect are Triaxial connectors designed primarily to reduce noise levels in systems along with providing an isolated ground. Both products are non-constant impedance and feature a state of the art clamping construction and weatherproof sealing features which ensures excellent termination to various twinaxial and triaxial cables. The TRB Series has the appearance of a BNC connector but incorporates a third conductor. The TRT Series has a thread coupling mechanism as designed on the TNC Series and has the appearance of a TNC but incorporates a third conductor.

Roy Phillips, Managing Director of Intelliconnect comments;”From the beginning Intelliconnect set out to offer high quality locally manufactured RF connectors which not only meet our customer’s technical requirements but also their manufacturing system’s requirements. Reliable component supply and on-time deliveries are more important now than ever, locally sourced components and manufacture mean we can support our customers with a full JIT and Kanban service.”

Following the success it has achieved in the UK market since its launch in May 2003, IntelliConnect Ltd. is proud to announce the launch of Intelliconnect USA.

The new venture will encompass the design, manufacture and distribution of its own product as well as working very closely with Intelliconnect’s engineering and commercial teams in the UK.

The new operation will be headed up by Terry Browning, one the leading RF connector engineers in the US. Browning has extensive design and commercial experience with leading US manufacturers such as Berg Electronics (Specialty Connectors) and Winchester-Retconn.

Managing Director Roy Phillips says, “This is a tremendous opportunity for Intelliconnect to break into some highly desirable niche US connector and component markets. Additionally it will enable us to service our global customers much more effectively by providing a wider manufacturing base and more than doubling our manufacturing capacity. Finally, the acquisition of Terry Browning will bring a wealth of US based engineering and commercial experience to complement our team in the UK.”

Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom….June 2003:

A new company, established to design and manufacture custom-built RF coaxial connector products for the European market, is announced today.

Intelliconnect, based at Chelmsford in Essex, will go some way to reverse recent trends that have seen practically all RF connector manufacture switched from the UK to offshore production facilities and the demise of the specialist manufacturer capable of providing bespoke, customer-specific products.

Managing Director Roy Phillips has established Intelliconnect to provide the European electronics and communications industries with a “much requested” source of affordable, high quality, UK manufactured RF coaxial connectors.

“We will specialise in connector solutions” says Phillips, “working with customers to design and produce RF connectors to their exact requirements. These will generally be new, unique designs, but we are already seeing a lot of interest in re-creating discontinued products that are still needed but no longer made by the traditional connector manufacturing base.” He adds.

Intelliconnect will not impose a minimum order quantity/value so customers are able to specify and purchase any quantity from a single connector to a million pieces.

Although the company’s main focus is custom-designed products, Intelliconnect will also be producing a range of standard RF connector products which it believes will be competively priced and available to meet short delivery times.

Intelliconnect’s management team has more than 100 collective years experience within the connector industry – Roy Phillips is ex. Greenpar and Transradio – so they are well placed to provide informed opinion on the condition of today’s connector industry and the demise of UK and European manufacture over the past few years.

“What we are continually being told, tells us that customers prefer local manufacture in the belief that this will give them better quality products, on-time delivery and, in the case of customer-specific solutions, a fast design and prototyping service supported by accessible design engineers.

“We aim to meet and even exceed our customers expectations.” concludes Phillips.

Intelliconnect is jointly funded by Roy Phillips and his co-directors and the low-voltage lighting specialist company Lab Craft who lead in the design and manufacture of lighting solutions for commercial and recreational applications.
