Test boards, chip demo sets, and applicable process boards use end launch connectors to connect test-line coaxial cables to grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPWG) and microstrip circuits. Chip and package testing often goes to a minimum of three times the operating frequencies to look for harmonics, which pushes demand for higher-frequency models. In-line or horizontal (where mating is parallel to board) connectors or vertical-mount designs are most common.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">How much interest do you have in PCB end launch connectors?</p><p><p align="center">[Please visit the site to access the poll]</p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
