Introducing Southwest Microwave’s newest high-performance connector, the groundbreaking 0.8 mm (145 GHz) high-performance thread-in connector. This cutting-edge design ensures exceptional signal integrity while delivering the industry’s lowest VSWR, RF leakage, and insertion loss.
- Will mate with IEEE 287 & IEC 61169-64 standards
- DC to 145 GHz
- Field replaceable and reusable
The 0.9 mm SuperMini connectors product line provides the superior performance of Southwest Microwave’s standard-sized, high frequency connectors in a miniaturized footprint which is ideal for reduced-size PCB and panel applications, offering ultra-broad bandwidth and coupling nut mating.
0.9 mm SuperMini connectors are rugged and durable, feature a 360° raised grounding ring and a temperature range of -55°C to 165°C.
The connectors provide mode-free operation through 67 GHz, offering well-matched impedance, excellent repeatability and the industry’s lowest VSWR (1.2:1), insertion loss (0.7 dB) and RF leakage (≤ -100 dB).
Built to Southwest Microwave’s rigorous performance and quality standards, the 1.0 mm connectors are rugged and durable, feature a 360° raised grounding ring and operational temperature rating of -55°C to +165°C.
1.0 mm connectors provide mode-free operation through 125 GHz, offering well-matched impedance, excellent repeatability and the industry’s lowest VSWR (1.2:1), insertion loss (0.6 dB) and RF leakage (≤ -100 dB).
1.35 mm DC to 90 GHz connectors from Southwest Microwave include a field-replaceable 4-hole Flange-mount Connector, standard Thread-in Connector, Cable Connector, clamp-on solderless End Launch Connector, Solderless Vertical Launch Connector, and between series adaptors.
1.85 mm (V) DC to 67 GHz connectors from Southwest Microwave include field-replaceable 2- and 4-hole Flange-mount and standard or metric Thread-in Connectors, Direct-solder Cable Connectors, clamp-on End Launch Connectors, and the new Solderless Vertical Launch Connector.
Southwest Microwave’s high performance End Launch connectors are designed to provide low VSWR, mode free wideband response to 110 GHz for single-layer and multi-layer printed circuit boards where the high frequency signal is on the top layer. Available in SMA (27 GHz), 2.92 mm (K) (40 GHz), 2.40 mm (50 GHz), 1.85 mm (V) (67 GHz) and 1.0 mm (W) (110 GHz).
Male and female options along with narrow body and bulkhead feed-through. Unique clamping mechanism accommodates board thickness up to .300” (7.62 mm). Robust, reusable and repairable. Multiple launch configurations provide the best possible match to circuit layout. Works on microstrip and grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) designs. Signal-layer microstrip and GCPW test boards available. Soldering is optional.
