The patented PkZ series of constant impedance contacts are designed for a wide range of connector housings including ARINC, Bendix LRM, DIN, D-Subminiature, HDI, Mil-C-38999 and custom housings.

The PkZ solves the issues of maintaining constant ratios through unique, straight-forward approach to internal construction.

Suitable for a wide variety of applications including : airborne platforms, aircraft GPS and transponders, backplane, medical, ship and ground radar, soldier connector systems and telecommunications.

PkZ Series

The PkZ® 2.8mm allows designers to incorporate 0.010" radial and up to 0.150" axial misalignment tolerance in applications where traditional spring loaded high force blind mate contacts would have been used.

The PkZ® 2.8mm, rated to 5 amps DC, is Phoenix's single circuit version of the innovative PkZ® blind mate. The misalignment tolerance of the PkZ® 2.8mm is coupled with performance to 20 GHz. This 50 ohm interconnect is rated at 500 mating cycles and is ideal for communication, instrumentation and medical electronics, along with cable-to-0cable and cable-to-printed circuit board applications.

PkZ 2.8mm

For difficult blind mate applications, the PKZ® allows a 0.090" longitudinal mating tolerance with no degradation in performance. As long as the contacts are engaged, the amount of engagement is no longer critical to electrical performance.

The PkZ® 26 Series eliminates the need for coincident reference planes by achieving a 50 ohm line at the instant the outer & inner conductors contact the mating connector. The design of the PkZ® 26 Series allows it to be scaled up in diameter for ruggedness and high power capabilities, or down in diameter for miniaturisation and to extend its frequency range. Low insertion force and no internal springs allow high performance and reliability from DC to 32 GHz.

PkZ 26 Series

Phoenix offers DIN housings and DIN Coaxial contacts for designs requiring DIN 41612 standard conformance.

They are suitable for high density interconnect applications that require a combination of signal contacts with coax, high power or high voltage contacts.

Reduced assembly time and simplified assembly operations are just two of the many advantages of the new Phoenix PkZ® 27 series, double-crimp, blind mate coax contacts.

These 50 ohm contacts are designed for use with D-Subminiature, DIN and HDI connector housings and are available for flexible and semi rigid cables. Optimised for cellular applications, the PkZ® Series frequency range extends from DC to 3 GHz and provides superb mechanical performance in blind mated applications by effectively eliminating contact push-out from misaligned connector mating.

PkZ 27 Series

The PkZ® 56 Series allow for a "Z2 axis mating tolerance of up to 0.070" without compromising electrical performance (constant impedance is maintained).

The PkZ® 56 series is designed for use with Bendix LRM connectors, F22 Raptor, MIL-C-38999 Connector series I, II, III and IV, Arinc 600 connectors and custom housings. It is available in a variety of styles and terminations including power Contacts to 10 amps, Solder Clamp, Direct Solder and Crimp type.
