Locking connectors for space applications

15 August 2018 Interconnection

Radiall has expanded its range of products equipped with an SMP-LOCK interface for the space market. The connector features a robust locking mechanism, which dramatically increases the retention force of the interface and prevents accidental disconnection.

The SMP-LOCK product offering for the space market features new connector variants, cable assemblies, attenuators, loads and switches. This connector is compliant with an SMP interface and includes a unique quick locking system to simplify installation and provide a secure connection. It is an ideal alternative for SMA and SMA2.9 since it can work up to 40 GHz and avoid any risk for bad connections during integration.

The connectors are easy to connect and disconnect, with no need of a torque wrench, and produce an audible click to indicate that the plug is locked. Performance characteristics include operation from DC to 22 GHz, VSWR below 1,2, EMC above 85 dBi, mating life in excess of 100 cycles and a temperature range of -65°C to +165°C.
