The Phoenix Company of Chicago, Inc.

The Phoenix Company’s focus on blindmate high-density microwave contact technology serves customers across quantum, medical, military, test and telecom markets with a broad range of products and accommodating services.

The company’s high-density PkZ® contacts provide constant impedance up to 50 GHz over an axial tolerance extending up to .110″, making these the preferred selection for microwave blindmate applications. Although Phoenix offers SMA cable assemblies for quantum systems, experiments requiring more lines of data per port gain numerous benefits from the PkZ.

Phoenix’s high-density microwave contacts, housings and cable assemblies comprise a full quantum system, from external microwave cables through a hermetic header into each level of the dilution refrigerator. The HDQ18, a complete board-level microwave solution, enables high-density circuit-mount PkZs to interface with the quantum processor for connection to existing RF lines.

The company designs and produces all products in its integrated facility in Naugatuck, Connecticut.
