Amphenol / SV Microwave SMPS Compact RF Connectors

Amphenol / SV Microwave SMPS Compact RF Connectors are high-performance subminiature RF connectors that utilize the same features as the SMP and SMPM series. These connectors are capable of frequencies exceeding 100GHz and are 45% smaller than the SMP and 30% smaller than the SMPM. The SMPS components are directly compatible with the G3PO interface and feature a full detent and smooth bore. Configurations include male and female cable connectors, board mount, edge launch, and a female bullet. The male interface is available with a smooth bore for easy mating or detent for female retention. Amphenol / SV Microwave SMPS Compact RF Connectors are ideal in applications where density is important.
