Features / Benefits:

Quarter turn bayonet locking feature on standard SMP/SMPM interface
Low VSWR through 40 GHz(SMP)/65 GHz(SMPM)
Female cable connector options available for all flexible cable types .086” diameter and smaller
All standard SMP/SMPM male connector options available upon request
Low insertion/extraction forces, compared to standard full detent SMP and SMPM, mean less torque on board mount connector solder joints during mating and demating
Spring loaded positive mating feature allows excellent electrical performance even in extreme vibration environments
Low mating forces allow for more mating cycles without failure compared to full detent SMP and SMPM

Applications

Bench-top testing (PCB mount, cable connectors and adapters)
High vibration environments
Applications requiring a high number of mating cycles
Military and Commercial options available
