SMPM-XT RF Interconnects

SMPM-XT RF Interconnects are designed to maintain reliable electrical performance even when mechanical tolerances vary. Featuring an extended interface, these SMPM interconnects accommodate a greater degree of axial tolerance, ensuring secure and repeatable board-to-board connections up to 12 GHz. Featuring fixed-length bullets and single, two-, and four-port mating halves, this line offers a complete board-to-board solution engineered for today’s most compact and demanding RF designs.
