Radiall's SMP connectors were developed to help designers reduce the size and increase the density of MIC (microwave integrated circuit) packaging. SMP connectors are high performance and have superior vibration and shock performance. They operate up to 40 GHz and are used for 50 Ω RF and microwave applications. The connectors are designed for military applications - eg, phased arrays, active antennas, satellites, airborne, ship borne, ground radar - as well as telecommunications applications.
The SMP come as snap-on or slide-on, blind-mate interconnection system types, enabling gang-mating capabilities with a -radial misalignment tolerances of ±0,25 mm and axial misalignment of 0, +0,25 mm. This tolerance is allowed by a chamfer in the interface and the use of an in-series adapter. These connectors are compliant with MIL-STD-348A and MILPRF-39012, DESC 94007/94008 standards.
The internal diameter of the male interface provides three different retention forces (full detent, limited detent, smooth bore) with corresponding (100, 500, 1000) mating cycles. Centre to centre distance between two connectors is 4,8 mm for board to cable application and 8,3 mm for board to board.
The SMP range includes: straight and right-angle connectors for semi-rigid and foam cables, straight and right angle receptacles for SMT, and snap-in jacks and adapters. Radiall also offers multiway connectors with SMP interfaces, optimising the positioning of connectors to increase density and misalignment tolerances.
