More Product Information

Connectors in the 0.9 mm SuperMini product line provide the superior performance of Southwest Microwave’s standard-size, high frequency connectors in a miniaturized footprint that 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, featuring a 360° raised grounding ring and a temperature range of -55°C to 165°C. These 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).
