Industries We Serve

From millikelvin quantum labs to military aircraft and satellites, our customers work at the edges of what an interconnect can survive.

What they share is that the standard answer has already been ruled out. A pogo pin or spring probe is too large for the pitch, too fragile under vibration, unreliable at cryogenic temperature, or unable to carry the current in the space available. Fuzz Button® contacts, including one of the world’s smallest diameter interconnects at .010 inch, and custom interposers are built for those cases, made in the USA, and 100% inspected before they ship.

Dilution refrigerator for superconducting quantum computing using non-magnetic Fuzz Button interconnects

Quantum computing interconnects

Superconducting and ion trap quantum systems put an interconnect through conditions nothing else does. Signal has to survive the drop from room temperature to the millikelvin stage of a dilution refrigerator without adding thermal load, the contact cannot introduce a magnetic signature near the qubits, and the package keeps shrinking as qubit counts climb.

Nickel-free gold plating for non-magnetic builds, dimensional stability through cooldown, and the .010 inch contact that fits 2,000+ position interposers into the space available.

Aerospace and defense interconnects

Defense hardware fails in the field, not on the bench. High shock, vibration, thermal cycling and altitude are everyday operating conditions, and signal and grounding integrity has to hold through all of it for the life of the platform.

100% Made in USA, a DFARS compliant domestic supply chain, 100% inspection on every part, and custom geometries built to mil-spec connector requirements.

RF spectrum analyzer representing RF and microwave interconnect applications

RF and microwave interconnects

At high frequency, the interconnect is part of the circuit. Every transition is a chance for loss, reflection or an impedance discontinuity, and tighter packaging makes that harder to control.

Fuzz Button® contacts in PTFE insulated sleeves hold RF integrity through the transition, with no solder joint and no plunger in the signal path.

RF and coaxial interconnects »

Satellite in orbit representing space hardware interconnect applications

Satellite and space interconnects

Satellite and space hardware gets one launch and no service call. The interconnect has to survive the vibration of launch, then hold performance through thermal cycling and vacuum for the life of the mission.

No springs or plungers to wear or seize, materials selected for temperature range and stability, and 100% inspection on every part we ship.

Pin grid array semiconductor package representing chip packaging interposer applications

Semiconductor and chip packaging interconnects

Fine pitch packages keep tightening while position counts keep climbing. Solder is not always an option, and a mechanical contact is not always small enough.

Solderless, high density board to board interconnects and BGA interposers, in PGA, BGA, LGA, CGA, QFN, MCM and custom formats.
