New SMPM microminiature RF connectors offer the same performance and convenience as the proven SMP connectors, but in a form factor that is 30% smaller. With a low VSWR through 40 GHz, SMPM connectors offer a versatile solution for high-density packaging, allowing center-to-center spacing of 0.135 inch
The connectors are designed for rugged environments, where harsh mechanical shock and vibrations are found. Their small size also makes them a favorite for ground and airborne radar, antenna systems, and other communications systems where dense packaging means compact size matters.
RF Connectors have microminiature SMPM form factor.
Available with smooth bore or fully detented interface to provide insertion forces of 2.5 or 4.5 lb, 40 GHz SMPM microminiature RF connectors allow center-to-center spacing of 0.135 in. Available in cable-mount jacks, board-mount receptacles, and with accessories such as adapters and shrouds with range of configurations, SMPM connectors are the space-saving solution to next-generation systems. They work with .047-inch semirigid cable and T-flex 405 cable. The connectors are designed to accommodate radial and axial misalignments of 0.010 inch to allow easy mating.
