More Product Information
The VTI Instruments 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.
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.

- 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
