Southwest Microwave’s SuperSMA is a high performance field service SMA connector. SuperSMA utilizes the basic PTFE dielectric interface (true SMA) and features low VSWR mode free through 27 GHz and less than -100 dB RF leakage. The thick outer conductor wall provides great durability to assure reliability in repeat mating, enhancing component performance. The SuperSMA interface is in accordance with MIL-STD-348.

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.

SuperMini Board-to-Board solutions optimize interconnect performance for board-to-board stacking applications.

Available bullets enable board-to-board spacing as close as 3 mm, assuring transmission line dependability for tightly stacked PCBs. Low mating insertion force allows for an increased density of interconnections per board. Unique bullet design enables extended mating and de-mating cycles.

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

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.
