“SMPM RF connectors are 30% smaller than standard SMP connectors,” said Darren Schauer, product manager at Molex, adding, “The compact design of SMPM reduces system weight while delivering excellent frequency performance and design flexibility in card-to-card blind mating applications.”
SMPM RF blind mating connectors meet the MIL-PRF-39012 specification for aerospace and military applications requiring optimal frequency performance. Offering reliable electrical performance without degradation over multiple mating cycles, the SMPM blind mating interface self-aligns to resist radial and axial misalignment (up to 0.25 mm) inherent in card-to-card connections. Its push-in locking mechanism eliminates the need for threading and tools.
Molex SMPM RF blind mating connectors come in custom-sized housings and multi-port interface types to meet numerous specifications for custom board-to-board applications. SMPM RF blind mating connectors are compatible with Temp-Flex™ microwave coaxial flexible cable for cost-effective terminations and assemblies.
“The high-performance SMPM RF board-to-board and cable connectors offer customers a comprehensive range of options that deliver maximum space savings in strategic applications,” concludes Darren Schauer.
