SSMB Connectors
   
Amphenol RF introduces the AFI connector interface as a solution for board-to-board RF applications, especially for the military and broadband marketplaces. The AFI interface utilizes a proprietary configuration that allows for industry leading “float” to compensate for the axial and radial misalignment due to packaging tolerances.
This industry-leading float results in a maximum misalignment allowed by the system of .030” [0,8 mm] radial and .040” [1,0 mm] axial. The interface is available in both 75 Ohm and 50 Ohm configurations.
