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).

RF/Coax switching modules up to 26 GHz for high frequency and communication switching needs

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.

The SMX-7xxx product family is made up of a series of microwave switch cards.

Southwest Microwave’s high performance End Launch Connectors are designed to provide low VSWR, mode-free wide responses up to 125 GHz for single and multilayer microstrip or grounded coplanar printed circuit boards. Available in SMA (27 GHz), 2.92 mm (40 GHz), 2.40 mm (50 GHz), 1.85 mm (67 GHz) and 1.0 mm (125 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.
