Product Description

The SR-034C is a precision non-magnetic semi-rigid coax cable engineered as a direct UT-034C alternative for applications where ferrous materials cannot be tolerated. Maintaining identical 0.034 inch (0.86mm) outer diameter and 50 Ohm impedance, this cable uses a silver-plated copper center conductor rather than copper-clad steel, ensuring zero magnetic susceptibility throughout the construction. The seamless copper tube outer conductor delivers 100% RF shielding with effectiveness exceeding 120 dB, eliminating signal leakage in sensitive multi-channel arrays. The PTFE dielectric maintains 70% velocity of propagation with 95.2 pF/m capacitance, while the 2100V RMS voltage rating supports high power RF chains. With cutoff frequency extending to 155 GHz, this non-magnetic coax meets the demanding requirements of 7T MRI receive coils, quantum computing cryostats, and precision measurement systems where even little ferrous contamination compromises performance.

FAQ
Q: What makes SR-034C different from standard SR-034 semi rigid coax cable?
A: The critical difference is the center conductor material. Standard SR-034 uses silver plated copper-clad steel (SCCS) for mechanical strength, which introduces magnetic susceptibility. SR-034C uses a silver-plated copper center conductor with no ferrous content, and all components are verified non-magnetic.
Q: Is SR-034C a direct replacement for Micro-Coax UT-034C?
A: Yes. SR-034C is engineered as a form-fit-function UT-034C alternative with identical 0.034" (0.86mm) outer diameter, 50 Ohm impedance, and electrical specifications. All standard connectors designed for UT-034C fit without modification. The cable can be used as a drop-in replacement in existing test fixtures requiring non-magnetic construction.
Q: What is the maximum frequency for SR-034C in test fixture applications?
A: The cable is specified through 90 GHz with usable performance extending to the 155 GHz cutoff frequency. For test fixture internal wiring up to 67GHz, insertion loss is approximately 15 dB per meter, which is acceptable for short internal paths under 50mm.
Q: How is non-magnetic performance verified for device characterization applications?
A: Each production lot undergoes material certification and can be tested with magnetic susceptibility measurement equipment upon request. For semiconductor test and research applications requiring documented verification, we provide certification of non-magnetic properties with each order. Typical magnetic susceptibility values are below 10⁻⁶ SI.
Q: What is the minimum bend radius for routing within test fixtures?
A: Minimum static bend radius is 0.063 inches (1.60 mm). For consistent results in test fixture integration, use radiused forming tools matched to the desired bend radius. For complex fixture layouts, we recommend ordering pre-formed cables to your mechanical drawing.
Q: What connector options are available for test fixture interface ports?
A: Standard options include 1.85mm connectors for 67GHz fixture interfaces; 2.92mm connectors for 40GHz test systems; Bare ends for direct soldering to PCB within fixtures; Custom launch configurations for specific probe card requirements
Q: Is SR-034C suitable for cryogenic device characterization?
A: Yes. The all-copper construction with PTFE dielectric performs reliably at cryogenic temperatures down to 4K. For quantum device characterization, we offer optional cupronickel center conductor materials that reduce thermal conductivity while maintaining non-magnetic properties.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for test fixture development?
A: Our MOQ for 0.034'' semi-rigid coax cable is 10 meters. This low MOQ supports test fixture prototyping and research projects where non-magnetic cable is required but volume is limited.
