Abstract
A system and method for connecting an external RF connector on an electrical module housing to a PCB within an electronic module is presented. The electronic module is configured to operate within a Department of Defense Joint Tactical Radio System in altitudes up to 15000 feet, at operating temperatures between −40 to +55 degrees Celsius, in driving rain and dust storms, in a corrosive salt-sea atmosphere and to withstand indirect shock. The electronic module comprises a module housing, a housing connector on an external wall of the housing, a PCB within the housing, a PCB connector for a coaxial cable mounted on the PCB and a coaxial cable with first and second ends that is looped 360 degrees between the housing connector and the PCB connector. The first end of the cable is connected to the housing connector and the second end is connected to the PCB connector.
