Southwest Microwave - 0.8 mm Connectors - DC to 145 GHz
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
More Product Information
The VTI Instruments RF/Coax switching modules up to 26 GHz for high frequency and communication switching needs
Coaxial cable assembly suitable for fixed wiring inside and between equipment used in the microwave band up to 100GHz (continuous operating temperature range: -30 to +85°C).
These cables have excellent formability (shape-retention capability) that make wiring work easy and exhibit superior loss characteristics compared to semi-rigid cables.
Standard connectors are SMA (m) straight connectors, although other connectors can be used as required.

Southwest Microwave offers a broad family of SSBP multi-coax contacts and assemblies to address RF/microwave packaging miniaturization and flexibility challenges. These push-on coax contacts simplify interconnections and cabling while offering greater system reliability than the alternative of mating a large array of standard coax connectors. These SSBP coax contacts were designed to fit into standard off-the-shelf MIL-DLT-38999 and MIL-DTL-24308 D-Sub connectors and are interchangeable with standard signal contacts available in 20 HD, 20, 16, 12, 8 sizes to accommodate a variety of performance requirements.
Contact us for flexible cable assemblies and harnesses for OTS MIL-DTL-38999 series I, II, III, and IV or MIL-DTL-24308 D-sub connectors. All size 20 contacts are sold on cables.
Southwest Microwave offers a full range of within-series and between-series precision adapters with near-metrology grade performance.
- High performing connector savers, DC to 110 GHz
- Economical solution for critical production and testing
- Approved for demanding environments such as Space and other Hi-Rel applications
- High repeatability and accuracy
- Available in various connector configurations
For microstrip or grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) designs, Southwest Microwave solderless vertical launch connectors provide optimal signal integrity and are reusable. Suitable for various board materials and thicknesses, the vertical launch connectors reduce footprint requirements without sacrificing performance, resulting in design and installation convenience.
HYPERLABS is first to market with 0.8 mm components operating to 145 GHz, breaking through a long-standing industry bandwidth ceiling. These ultra-broadband devices deliver the precision and signal integrity required for next-generation high-speed test and measurement systems.
