Amphenol SV Microwave

Secure Locking SMPM RF Cable Assemblies

Amphenol SV Microwave’s cable assemblies have a quarter-turn bayonet-style coupling nut with a locking feature for SMPM interfaces

Image of Amphenol SV Microwave's Secure Locking SMPM RF Cable AssembliesAmphenol SV Microwave’s secure locking SMPM QuarterBack® RF cable assemblies require low insertion and extraction force for less torque on the board-mount connector solder joints during mating and unmating. The SMPS series utilizes a quarter-turn bayonet-style coupling nut with a locking feature for standard female and male bulkhead SMPM interfaces. All SV QuarterBack products are ideal for high-vibration and test applications requiring many mating cycles.

Features
  • Quarter-turn bayonet locking feature on standard SMPM interface
  • Low VSWR through 65 GHz (SMPM)
  • Low insertion/extraction forces compared to standard full detent SMPM mean there is less torque on the board-mount connector solder joints during mating and unmating
  • Spring-loaded positive mating feature allows excellent electrical performance even in extreme vibration environments
  • Low mating forces allow for more mating cycles without failure compared to full detent SMPM
Applications
  • Bench-top testing
    • PCB mounts
    • Cable connectors
    • Adapters
  • High vibration environments
  • Applications requiring a high number of mating cycles
