**Build a High-Frequency RF Interface That Can Be Replaced — Not the Entire Assembly.**
For microwave and millimeter-wave modules, RF performance is important — but so are **serviceability, hermetic sealing, and long-term maintainability**.
This video shows a typical integration process using a **glass bead and field-replaceable RF connector**:
• Fit the glass bead into the module housing
• Create a reliable hermetic interface
• Align the center conductor with the replaceable connector
• Inspect the assembly for proper installation
• Complete the RF connection to the PCB
The advantage of this architecture is simple: the glass bead can remain integrated with the module while the external RF connector can be removed and replaced when necessary.
Flexi RF offers **Field Replaceable Connectors** across multiple precision RF interfaces, together with **Glass Beads in different pin diameters** for high-frequency module and package designs.
For example, selected Flexi RF field-replaceable solutions cover applications from SMA and 2.92 mm through 2.4 mm and 1.0 mm interfaces, with frequencies extending up to **110 GHz**.
**Design the RF interface for performance today — and easier maintenance tomorrow.**
