RF connectors suit high density computing & telecomms
Featuring a compact 3.56mm pitch and delivering a frequency range of DC to 65GHz, SMPM RF Blind-Mate Connectors from Molex are designed for high density computing and telecomms applications. MIL-PRF-39012 compliant, the connectors are suitable for aerospace and defence applications requiring optimal frequency performance.
Providing reliable electrical performance without degradation through multiple mating cycles, the SMPM blind-mate interface self-aligns to withstand radial and axial misalignment (up to 0.25mm) inherent with board-to-board mating. The push-on design eliminates the need for threads or tools for installation.
Molex SMPM RF Blind-Mate connectors are available in custom bullet lengths and multi-port interface styles to cover a wide range of custom board-to-board application specifications. SMPM RF Blind-Mate Connectors are compatible with Molex Temp-Flex coaxial flexible microwave cable for terminations and assemblies at an overall lower cost.
“SMPM RF Connectors are 30% smaller than standard SMP connectors,” states Darren Schauer, Product Manager, Molex. “The compact SMPM design reduces system weight, while delivering excellent frequency performance and design flexibility in board-to-board blind-mate applications. High performance SMPM RF board-to-board and cable connectors provide customers a full range of options to maximise space savings in mission critical applications.”
