The series is geared towards compact radio frequency systems used in telecommunications, data centers, industrial applications and defense.
The P-SMP HiDens connectors have been developed to facilitate the integration of numerous RF connections between printed circuit boards in confined spaces. Their optimized design allows for a reduction in the weight of electronic assemblies without compromising connection reliability. The solution supports board spacings as low as 12.6 mm and offers tolerance compensation of ±1 mm axially and 4° radially. Furthermore, it incorporates a snap-on coupling mechanism, enabling tool-less connection and disconnection of components.
Depending on the configuration, the connectors support:
At least 100 connection cycles in versions with a detent interface.
At least 1,000 connection cycles in smooth-bore interface versions.
SMD assembly and pin-in-paste for integration into printed circuit boards.
RF performance up to 10 GHz and 50 Ω impedance
The new series is based on Rosenberger's P-SMP technology, which combines the compact characteristics of SMP connectors with the performance of SMA solutions. The connectors have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and are designed to operate in a frequency range from direct current (DC) up to 10 GHz.
Among its main electrical specifications are:
Operating frequency: DC to 10 GHz.
Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω.
Return loss: at least 32 dB between DC and 3 GHz.
Return loss: at least 26 dB between 3 and 6 GHz.
Specified continuous power: 200 W at 2.7 GHz.
The specific electrical and mechanical characteristics depend on the connector configuration and operating conditions.
Applications in 5G/6G networks and industrial RF systems
HiDens P-SMP connectors are designed for applications requiring multiple reliable radio frequency connections under space and weight constraints. Their primary applications include 5G and 6G telecommunications infrastructure, such as filter modules, base stations, and power amplifiers. The range can also be used in data centers, industrial radio frequency systems, and defense electronics.
