Introducing Southwest Microwave’s newest high-performance connector, the groundbreaking 0.8 mm (145 GHz) high-performance thread-in connector. This cutting-edge design ensures exceptional signal integrity while delivering the industry’s lowest VSWR, RF leakage, and insertion loss.
- Will mate with IEEE 287 & IEC 61169-64 standards
- DC to 145 GHz
- Field replaceable and reusable
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).
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).
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.
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.
