PSMP Connectors

PSMP Connectors

PSMP
Amphenol RF PSMP connectors are the perfect solution for board-to-board applications requiring high power. With a minimum board spacing of 12.6 mm, the three-piece design allows maximum flexibility for high-density board spacing, and is an ideal solution for blindmate situations.

PSMP connectors are the best combination of SMPs and SMAs. They are compact, board-to-board designs capable of high-performance and high-frequency. The PSMP has the exact same PCB footprint as the SMP, allowing for easy conversion of applications for higher power handling.

Features and Benefits
  • High Frequency operation up to 10 GHz
  • 200 W @ 2.2GHz continuous power
  • 12.6 mm minimum board spacing
  • Axial misalignment: +/- 1 mm
  • Snap-on coupling
Applications
  • Base Stations
  • Radios
  • Filters
  • Amplifiers
  • Handheld Radio
  • Wireless
