New sub-miniature connectors suited to high speed communication equipment
New sub-miniature connectors are ideal for high speed communication equipment Quadrant has introduced to the UK a new range of sub-miniature, blind mate, push-on, 50ohm RF connectors from Telegärtner that is designed for cable assembly and PCB to PCB applications with a frequency requirement of up to 12GHz.
Telegärtner SMP connectors have a high quality push-on coupling mechanism and mating faces that meet MIL-STD-348A. They are ideal for applications such as high speed signal transmission lines in communications equipment.
Cable terminations are either crimp or solder designs for flexible or semi-rigid cable. Board-to-board connections can be made using SMP ‘bullets', which are female to female, blind-mate adaptors that are a flexible link between PCB mounted male connectors.
The range is available with different coupling mechanisms to suit specific requirements. Smooth bore allows for maximum float for mating with radial and axial misalignment between mating planes and limited and full detent coupling is ideal for mobile applications with shock and vibration requirements.
The mating cycle capability is greater than 100, 500 and 1,000 for full detent, limited detent and smooth bore respectively and all types are ideal for use in military and commercial applications such as satellite, radar, telematics and other communications equipment.
