SMPS Spring Bullets

SV Microwave’s newest spring loaded bullet product line employs an SMPS RF interface to maximize density and high frequency in applications up to 32 GHz. These spring loaded bullets have been designed for repeatable RF performance under all states of compression by solving axial and radial misalignment issues when fully mated. Further, with a minimum overall length of just 0.460”, these bullets offer a very tight board-to-board stackup.
