More Product Information
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).
Flexibility
- Different substrate carriers for wafers up to 200 mm or single dies
- Probe cards and/or up to eight positioners
- Optional thermal chuck (-60°C to 300°C) and pressure regulation
- Accessories available, such as black bodies and optical motion analysis tools
- Optional upgrade for 300 mm wafer
- Designed for industrial environments
- Covers wide range of measurements (I-V, C-V, RF, MEMS, OPTO)
- Ideal for small structures

Southwest Microwave N (18 GHz) Connectors
- Field replaceable
- Microstrip or stripline launch
- Male/female
- Flange-mount, thread-in or waveguide probe
- Solve machine vision applications efficiently by constructing flowcharts instead of writing program code, using field-proven tools for analyzing, classifying, locating, measuring, reading and verifying
- Use a single program for creating both application logic and operator interface
- Leverage deep learning for visual inspection through image classification and segmentation tools
- Rely on a common underlying vision library for the same results with an Iris GTX smart camera, vision systems or third-part computer
- Work with multiple cameras all within the same project or per project running concurrently and independently from one another, platform permitting
- Interface to Zebra AltiZ and third party 3D sensors to visualize, process and analyze depth maps and point clouds
- Communication options include discrete Zebra I/Os, RS-232, and Ethernet (TCP/IP, CC-Link IE Field Basic, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA, and PROFINET, and native robot interfaces)
- Maximize productivity with instant feedback on image analysis and processing operations
- Receive immediate pertinent assistance through an integrated contextual guide
- Maintain control and independence through the ability to create custom flowchart steps
- Test communication with PLC using the built-in PLC interface emulator
- Protect against inappropriate changes with the Project Change Validator tool
Auriga’s Bias Tees balance impressive RF performance with heavy-duty power handling across multiple frequency bands ranging from 0.1 GHz to 67 GHz. They are designed for rigorous usage without sacrificing RF performance.
The Mobile Telemetry Rack (MTR) integrates state-of-the-art telemetry capabilities utilizing the RTR-X4 & GMDR recorder providing the ideal portable telemetry checkout system, able to receive demodulation, record, process and display your data throughout your system development.
Based on the Cortex architecture, the 4U chassis-based CORTEX RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing the utmost flexibility and capability a Telemetry Receiver can achieve.
The GMDR Chapter 7 recorder fits particularly well for the flight test support where operability and flexibility is essential. Not only the does the Telemetry rack provide a rich set of features, the Dell Server comes with the standard Safran software tools you expect: D4 Recorder, C10 Extract, eZ Viewer Data Verification and Quick Look Software.
Additionally, multiple projects can be supported by just swapping out the OS & media drives in support of classified projects.

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).
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.
