Southwest Microwave connectors and accessories are designed to be compatible with each other to assure electrical performance. Southwest Microwave cannot assure electrical performance when the accessories are used with a non-Southwest Microwave connector.

• Combine up to 12 fail-safe building blocks, dual SPDT, SP4T, SP6T, or transfer switch in a compact 1U footprint 
• Front “pluggable” relays facilitate field maintenance 
• Embedded web interface provides interactive utility to monitor and control relays from anywhere in the world 
• Flexible API supports IVI and Linux development environments minimizing software investment 
• LXI Trigger Event implementation provides seamless test synchronization with external devices 
• Store up to 128 relay state configurations for quick recall, including an automatic power up state 
• Define exclude lists to avoid setting an undesirable configuration 
• Relay odometer tracks closures to facilitate preventative maintenance

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

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

The SM7000 Series microwave switching modules are members of the VXI Technology SMIPII™ family. They offer a modular design allowing custom switching configurations to be easily assembled and modified in the field. 

The SM7000 is a single-wide, C-size VXI module, which can support up to six different microwave switches including: a dual SPDT; SP3T through SP6T; transfer switches and passthrough adapters that allow the module to control up to eight externally mounted relays each.

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

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.

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.

Design and Test Assistance:

• Printed circuit board connector launch designs and connector part number recommendations for stack-ups
• 3D models for mechanical layout
