Bullet Adapter Tolerates Misalignment

The new SMP socket-to-socket adapter is lauded as a key building block in the company's push-on family of blindmate connectors. Claimed to deliver superior RF performance, the SMP bullet is designed to tolerate significant misalignment, both radial at 0.5 mm and axial to 0.3 mm, making assembly integration faster. In addition, a compact package size saves space and weight in all major microwave applications, including pc board mounts, thread-in shrouds, test adapters, cable connectors, and installation and extraction tools.
