Quantum computers (*1) are able to analyze enormous amounts of data and provide optimal solutions in fields such as AI, quantum cryptography, social transportation infrastructure, and drug discovery research. Development of devices that use terahertz radiation for sophisticated diagnostic devices in the medical field is also advancing.(Left: straight jack harness, right: plug receptacle)
These devices with an eye to the future have increased the need for electronic components to become more compact and compatible with high frequency signals. In addition, because the physical properties of the connector components affect the performance of the device in some use environments, there is a need for connectors that are adapted to that environment.
JAE has developed prototypes of a non-magnetic SMPM (*2) coaxial connector and ultra-low temperature coaxial cable assembly based on the technology cultivated through the man-made satellite and other space businesses. Coaxial connectors that are unaffected by magnetic properties are critical for the correct operations of some devices.
JAE will continue to utilize its development technology capabilities to develop products such as multi-contact SMPS (*3) coaxial connectors and terahertz radiation.
