SMC Connectors

SMC Connectors

smc
The SMC interface features threaded coupling with 10-32 threads and is available in 50 and 75 ohm configurations.

SMC connectors offer broadband performance with low reflection DC to 10 GHz and are primarily used in telecommunications and instrumentation applications.

Features and Benefits
  • Conforms to the interface dimensions of MIL-STD-348
  • Threaded coupling ideal for applications where vibration resistance is important
  • Ideal for semi-rigid cables or miniature flexible cables
Applications
  • Antennas
  • Instrumentation
  • Telecommunications
  • PC/LAN
