Our 1 Series cable assembly lineup features heat-resistant types that can be used in a wide continuous operating temperature range (-65 to +125°C) in microwave measurement environments, alongside durability-focused types with a dramatically improved mechanical life based on a cabling structure cultivated through developing robot cables.

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).

• Custom electrical testing available upon request
• Wide package variety with custom configurations
• NC100 & 200 series for audio and RF applications
• NC300 & 400 series for microwave application

Noise diodes are the fundamental building blocks for analog noise systems. They are categorized for performance characteristics that enhance their broadband noise output and flat spectral response. All Maury noise diodes can deliver symmetrical white Gaussian noise and flat output power versus frequency*.

* Flatness and output power are dependent upon peripheral circuit characteristics

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.

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.

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).

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.
