Threaded SMPM Interconnects: Optimized for High-Vibration Environments
Introducing SV Microwave’s New Line of Threaded SMPM Interconnects!
SV Microwave has released a cutting-edge line of threaded SMPM interconnects, including cable and PCB connectors, adapters, and cable assemblies. These innovative products feature a standard SMPM RF interface, enhanced with a threaded coupling nut for additional mating captivation.
We’ve tailored our Threaded SMPM product line to give you the best of both worlds-compact design and high RF performance in demanding conditions. With competitive pricing, additional options of solderless and pre-tinned connectors, and an expansive product range, we’ve got you covered.
Continue reading to learn why our Threaded SMPM product line is the right fit for your high-vibration applications.
The Evolution of SMPM: Compact, High-Frequency, and Reliable
The SMPM interface was developed as a smaller version of the SMP interface to accommodate the growing need for RF technology in higher-frequency, higher-density applications while maintaining a small form factor.
Challenges in High-Vibration Environments
One key challenge in high-vibration environments, such as space launches or military aircraft flight conditions, is maintaining a secure connection. While traditional SMPM push-on designs offer smaller sizes, they often fail to maintain a connection in these extreme conditions. This can lead to loose connections or improper bottoming, negatively affecting RF performance.
Standard threaded connectors, like an SMA, have too large of a footprint to be viable in designs with tight packaging requirements. To combat these issues, SV Microwave’s threaded SMPM interconnects provide a secure, threaded coupling nut that enhances connection reliability and ensures low mating and de-mating force.
While the threaded SMPM is slightly larger than a traditional SMPM due to the coupling nut, it remains significantly smaller than an SMA, making it the perfect fit for high-frequency, small-form-factor applications. With a frequency range of up to 40 GHz, these connectors offer superior performance in compact designs.
Ideal Applications for Threaded SMPM Interconnects
SV Microwave’s threaded SMPM interconnects are versatile and can be used across a range of applications, including:
Military/Aerospace
Commercial
Space
Power Dividers and Combiners
SV Microwave’s Full Line of Threaded SMPM Interconnects
Our product line includes PCB and cable connectors, adapters, and cable assemblies available in both straight and right-angle orientations, with Ø.047" and Ø.085" cable types to meet various design needs.
After the successful launch of our original Threaded SMPM RF Connectors and Adapters line, SV Microwave expanded the product family to include additional PCB connector variations, including solderless and pre-tinned solutions. Most recently, we introduced threaded SMPM RF cable assemblies to offer a complete interconnect solution for demanding environments.
Threaded SMPM Solderless and Pre-Tinned Connectors
Threaded SMPM Cable Assemblies
Threaded SMPM Connectors and Adapters
Why Choose SV Microwave for Threaded SMPM Solutions?
