The Connectronics SMP Bullet subminiature push-on adapter to ensure reliable RF performance in board-to-board or other gang-mating in aerospace, telecommunications, and test and measurement applications.

Summary points:

  • Connectronics introduces a subminiature push-on RF adapter for high-density board-to-board and cable-to-board connections.
  • Designed to handle axial and radial misalignment to ensure consistent VSWR and signal integrity to 40 GHz.
  • Adapter is for aerospace, telecom, and test applications where space is limited and precision performance is critical.

EDINBURGH, Ind. – Connectronics Inc. in Edinburgh, Ind., is introducing the SMP Bullet subminiature push-on adapter to ensure reliable RF performance in board-to-board or other gang-mating in aerospace, telecommunications, and test and measurement applications.

The SMP Bullet is viable for fixed and spring-loaded applications, and accommodates tolerance and misalignment during mating, prevents signal degradation, and ensures consistent RF and microwave performance.

Its high-density, small-form-factor design supports dense interconnects in limited space, while providing board-to-board and cable-to-board connectivity. Each bullet is designed to minimize gaps and compensate for axial and radial misalignment to ensure consistently repeatable voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) under compression and reliable connections engineered to compensate for some movement.

The SMP bullet subminiature adapter supports frequencies to 40 GHz and even higher in some extended designs, making it ideal for demanding RF applications. For more information contact Connectronics online at https://customrfconnectors.com/.
